What describes a mixture with undissolved particles dispersed throughout that are too small to settle or filter out?
They are called colloids.
What is purification of colloids?
The separation of the constituents of the colloidal solution with the help of any separation process such as centrifugation, evaporation etc. is known as purification of colloids.
Explain why filtering can trap undissolved particles?
If the pores of the filter are smaller than the particulate, they cannot pass through and are trapped in the filter. The filter might not have small enough pores to filter everything out.
Why cant you separate a colloid by filtering?
You cannot separate a colloid by filtering because the particles of a colloid are too small to be suspended by any filter. They will instead simply slip through the holes of said filter.
Why does the the water passes through the filter paper but not the cornstarch?
The water actually passes through the filter paper and the cornstarch. However, the cornstarch does not pass through the filter because the molecules are to large.

no, the particles are so small they can pass through filter paper. ----------------- Yes, with special filters (with very small pores ), by ultrafiltration.
What is the colour of a blue car appear on yellow light?
