Why do colloids show the Tyndall effect?
In true solutions the solute dissolves completely in the solvent at the molecular level, meaning that the solute particles are present at their molecular size - well below the size of a particle required to exhibit light scattering dispersion (the Tyndall effect).
Why can you see light passing through a colloid but not a solution?
Light is scattered by colloids.
What mixtures will not scatter light?
sollution
What is the importance of colloids in chemistry?
The importance of colloid is important especially in chemistry industry. It is also known as the 'fourth state of matter' which can be combined with the 3 major state of matters( solid, liquid and gas).
Do elements scatter light?
most definitly
Do suspensions scatter light?
Yes, colloids scatter light. Colloids are mechanical mixtures; all mechanical mixtures scatter light. Solutions are the only mixtures that do not scatter light. The scattering of light by mixtures is known as the Tyndall effect, btw.
What property do colloids and suspensions have that a solution does have?
they are able to scatter light
What properties do colloids and suspensions have that a solution does not have?
they are able to scatter light
What property do colloids and suspensions have that solutions does not have?
they are able to scatter light
Which mixture scatter a beam of light that passes through them-a phenomenon called the Tyndall effect?
The Tyndall effect is observed in colloids (solid-gas, solid-liquid, etc.).
What is a homogeneous mixture that contains particles that scatter light?
They are called "colloids". These have large particles that are suspended in a solution.
Are colloids heterogeneous or homogeneous?
Colloids are stuck between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixture. So you can't say that it is a heterogeneous or homogeneous. It is both.
Why do colloids produce the Tyndall effect?
The partiales of a Suspension are Big. Therefore they Show tyndall effect
What mixtures scatter a beam of light that passes through them-a phenomenon called the Tyndall effect?
These mixtures are colloids or very fine suspensions.
What objects scatter light?
Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.
The scattering of light by colloids is called?
the scattering of light by colloids is known as tyndall effect. it is named after the scientist who discovered it.
What does feather brain mean?
someone who is "light" in the brain- scatter brained or not very smart
