This is because there are solid particles suspended in the mixture although it is more stable than a suspension.

How do you test whether a given solution is a colloidal solution?

If it shows the presence of colloidal particles in solution, by scattering any beam of light that falls directly onto it in a direction different from the direction from which the light impinges.


Is milk mixture colorless and odorless?

Milk is actually colorless. Its white appearance comes from the scattering of light by colloidal particles. Milk is not odorless - that is, it has a smell to it.


What happens when a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution?

When a strong beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution, then scattering of light is absorbed.


Is salt solution shows Tyndall effect?

Yes, it does because tyndall effect is caused by scattering of light by small particles in colloidal solutions in transparent medium. (colloid means the mixture of particles less than size of particles in suspension)


What is scattering process?

The phenomenon in which particles of the medium deviate light in a lateral direction is called scattering of light.

What is a tyndall effect in chemistry?

The phenomenon of scattering of light by colloidal particles as a result of which the path of the beam becomes visible visible is called Tyndall effect. Causes : The colloidal particles first absorb the incident light and then part of it gets scattered by them. Since the intensity of the scattered light is at right angles to the plane of the incident light, the part becomes visible only when seen in that direction.


Does a sugar solution show the Tyndall effect?

NO as it is not a collidal solution. the particles of sugar solution are too small too scatter light so....NO!


Which type of mixture has particles large enough to scatter light?

This is a colloidal mixture.
