they are able to scatter light
A true solution is homogeneous and generally transparent.
they are able to scatter light
how are solutions suspensions and colloids alike
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
Maple syrup is a solution.
Solutions. Colloids contain particles that are intermediate in size between those found in solutions and suspensions, giving them characteristics of both. They appear homogeneous like solutions but can scatter light and exhibit the Tyndall effect like suspensions.
These factors are:- homogeneity of the solution- dimension of particles
A colloid is a mixture that has properties of both solutions and suspensions. Colloids consist of particles that are larger than those in solutions but smaller than those in suspensions. They can exhibit characteristics such as scattering of light, being stable, and not settling out over time.
It is
Colloids are mixtures where one substance is evenly dispersed throughout another substance on a small scale. Suspensions, on the other hand, are mixtures where particles are larger and tend to settle out over time. Colloids display the Tyndall effect, scattering light, while suspensions do not.
Colloids and suspensions are both heterogeneous mixtures where particles are dispersed within a medium. However, colloids have smaller particles that do not settle out over time due to Brownian motion, while suspensions have larger particles that settle out due to gravity. Both colloids and suspensions can scatter light, making their solutions appear cloudy or opaque.
