A colloid is a mixture of solid particles suspended in a liquid.

∙ 10y agoColloid: A colloid is a lot like a suspension. The only difference is that the dust is so fine that it wont settle down in the water. Colloid liquids are fairly merky
Mixture: A Mixture contains different 2 or more substances.
Suspension: A liquid that contains visible, invisible and in-soluble particles.
Solution: To see a solution, hold the liquid up to the light. Small particles should be seen. A solution must contain more than 1 substance

∙ 13y agoA "colloidal system" can be defined as one of these states finely dispersed in another. These colloids have special properties that are of great practical importance. There are various examples of colloidal systems that can be considered. The following table shows the classification of colloids and contains examples of each type.Continuous phase

Colloid systems usually have dimensions of less than 1 micron, which results in a very high surface-to-volume ratio. Therefore, surface chemistry plays a very important part in the study of colloidal systems.

∙ 9y agoA colloid mixture is a mixture that does not settle but has one substance split into tiny particles that spread through the other substance. It is one of the three primary mixture types along with suspension and solution. Smoke and fog are examples of a colloid mixture.

What kind of mixture is almirol?
Coarse mixture
Is a colloid a homogenous mixture?
A colloid is actually a heterogeneous mixture. HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE- Heterogeneous mixture means the mixture in which the particles are not uniformly mixed with each other. In a colloid the particles are very very minute and so are not visible to our eyes. For example milk is colloid. So according to me colloid mixture appears to be a homogeneous mixture but actually it is a heterogeneous mixture.
What kind of mixture is a chocolate drink a colloid solution or suspension?
Yes..of course.
What kind of mixture is a solution a suspension a colloid?
A typical solution is a homogeneous mixture with only one phase; a suspension is a nonhomogeneous mixture.For a colloid the answer is more complicate: the appearance is homogeneous, single phase but at a microscopic scale the system is not homogeneous.

Pepsi is mixture of elements
What is the difference between colloid solution to colloid mixture?
Well they are the same thing because a solution is a type of mixture. If there had to be a difference a colloid solution is when particles are mixed as a colloid in water but a colloid mixture could be anything: a gas colloid, a liquid colloid or a solid colloid. Or any of those three mixed together! It is complicated but basically the difference is that one is particles spread thought mixture and one isn't. Hope it helps :)
