By its size
* Mixtures contain two or more compounds.* Suspensions contain solids not soluble in liquids; dimensions are over 1 micrometer. Suspensions also exist in gases.* Colloids have dimensions between 100 nm an 1 micrometer.* Solutions are homogeneous mixtures, generally as liquids.
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.
These mixtures are colloids or very fine suspensions.
False. As an example wet sand is a mixture of water and sand, but it is not a solution as the two substances remain as distinct phases.
Both solutions and suspensions are mixtures of two or more components. However, the particles in suspension are larger and will eventually settle out, where the particles in a solution are on the atomic or molecular level.
The three mixtures are: Solutions, Suspensions and Colloids.
how are solutions suspensions and colloids alike
solutions, colloids and suspensions
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures; suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures;
Answer:D I had the same question but I figured it out. It is C. Colloids.
All solutions are mixtures but not all mixtures are solutions. Milk is a Mixtures of protein, fat, lactose and minerals in the form of colloids. Chocolate drink is a mixtures of suspense solid and milk (colloids) with sugar (solution).

Yes, all solutions are by definition mixtures.
suspensions colloids (and to some extent thixotropic fluids)
