collides are small tiny particles mixed together.
Solutions are homogeneous mixture that the particles can be seen and separated.
Mechanical mixture is heterogeneous mixture and cannot be seen and separated.
suspensions are particles dissolved into each other and in over time they separated because of density

Describe the differences between colliods and suspensions?
Colloids do not settle out; suspensions eventually do settle out. Particles in colloids are smaller than particles in suspensions.
Do suspensions show Brownian motion?
NO,the don't.only colloids show brownian motion.
What are the harmful and beneficial effects of colloids and solutions?
some colloids cause pollution in the environment...some colloids release cfc's that contributes to the ozone layer depletion...
What are the three types of colloidal system?
The 3 types of colloidal system are: 1. Lyophilic colloids 2. Lyophobic colloids 3. Association colloids
Does colloids exhibits Tyndall effect?
The tyndall effect is a result of scattering from colloids that are around the wavelength of light, this is why milk does not appear blue.
How are solutions and colloids alike?
how are solutions suspensions and colloids alike
Can mixtures be classified as solutions suspensions or colloids?
By its size
Are solutions and colloids suspensions?
mixturesBy Mickey Rabie
What are the three mixtures?
The three mixtures are: Solutions, Suspensions and Colloids.
What are the three kinds of homogenous mixture?
solutions, colloids and suspensions
How are suspension and solution alike?
how are solutions suspensions and colloids alike
What property do colloids and suspensions have that solutions does not have?
they are able to scatter light
What are three kinds of homogenous mixtures?
solutions, colloids and suspensions
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.
Do homogeneous mixtures include colloids solutions and suspensions?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
What factors contribute to the classification of solutions suspensions and colloids?
These factors are:- homogeneity of the solution- dimension of particles
What do solutions suspensions and colloids have in common?
They are all something in something else. Suspensions are colloids. Colloids are something small dispersed in something else - solids in liquids (a suspension), gases in liquids, gases in solids etc etc Solutions are one phase - a liquid, but at least 2 compounds make up that phase.
