Gemstones are often considered examples of solid solutions, particularly when they involve variations in the composition of minerals within the crystal structure. A solid solution is a type of homogeneous mixture where different elements or compounds are incorporated into the crystalline structure of a solid material. In the case of gemstones, this is commonly seen in minerals that form crystals.
For example, the mineral corundum can crystallize in different forms, giving rise to gemstones such as sapphires and rubies. Corundum is primarily composed of aluminum oxide (Al2O3). However, during the crystal formation, small amounts of other elements can substitute for aluminum or oxygen in the crystal lattice. For instance, in blue sapphires, iron and titanium impurities can replace some aluminum ions in the crystal structure, leading to the blue coloration. Similarly, the presence of chromium can result in the red color of rubies.
This variability in composition within the crystal lattice is an example of a solid solution. The impurities or substitution of elements create variations in the physical and optical properties of the gemstone. Solid solutions can also impact the color, hardness, and other characteristics of gemstones, making them unique and valuable.
It's worth noting that while gemstones are a common example of solid solutions in minerals, solid solutions can also be found in various other materials, including alloys, ceramics, and polymers.
Solid sol is a kind of solid that is a little soft. If you have a Coloured gemstone
just take it and put it in a boiling water after 5-6mins take and press it you may feel a bit change in it. It becomes kind of soft. This is how we get to know that coloured gemstones are solid sol. However this property isn't there for perfect solids.
A solid sol is a colloid where the continuous phase and the disperse phase are solids. An example of a solid sol is a pearl. A colloid is a dispersion of particles of one substance throughout another. The dispersed substance is called the disperse phase and the substance it is dispersed in is called the disperse phase.
* solid particles dispersed in a gas (solid aerosol); example: dust in air * liquid droplets dispersed in a gas (liquid aerosol); example: cloud * solid particles dispersed in a liquid (sol); examples: slime, paste * gas dispersed in a liquid (foam); example: whipped cream * liquid in a liquid (emulsion); example: hand lotion * gas dispersed in a solid (solid foam); example: foam rubber * liquid dispersed in a solid (gel); example: jelly * solid in solid (solid sol); example: some glasses
The 3 types of colloidal system are: 1. Lyophilic colloids 2. Lyophobic colloids 3. Association colloids
Pine Sol
Synthesis is known as a reaction is involved. E.g. solid state reaction. but preparation is a process involved it. E.g. sol-gel method.

The Sun (Sol) for example.
There are a few different types of colloids based on the state of matter.Classifications:Aerosol (liquid dispersed in a gas - fog, mist, clouds) Foam (gas dispersed in a liquid - soda (CO2 dissolved in water), whipped cream)Solid Foam (gas dispersed in a solid - Styrofoam, plaster)Emulsion (liquid dispersed in a liquid - butter, milk)Gel (liquid dispersed in a solid - jello, starch solution)Solid Aerosol (solid dispersed in a gas - smoke, dust)Sol (solid dispersed in a liquid - blood, ink, paint)Condom (gas dispersed in a solid-square plane-figure)Prostitute (Girl turns rouge-causing her to have sex with anyone who pays her)
Song with sol fa syllables as lyrics:Do Re Mi (Sound of Music)... "Doe, a deer, a female deer/ Ray, a drop of golden sun/ Me, a name I call myself..." Song with lyrics turned into sol fa syllables: Happy Birthday... "Sol sol la sol do ti/ Sol sol la sol re do/ Sol sol sol(8va) me do ti la/ Fa fa mi do re do!"
