Is powdered sugar a colloid or suspension?

Answer 1

Powdered sugar is neither a colloid nor a suspension; it is a solid substance. When mixed with a liquid, it dissolves completely, forming a solution rather than a colloid or suspension. In a solution, the sugar molecules are evenly distributed at the molecular level, unlike in a suspension where larger particles remain dispersed but not dissolved. Thus, powdered sugar in water creates a homogeneous mixture, not a colloidal or suspended state.
