suspension particles can be seen through a microscope
What else can I help you with?
What is a homogeneous mixture in which particles are so small that they cannot be seen without a microscope?
Solution
What are the properties of a colloid?
A colloid is a substance that has tiny particles that do not settle. These particles are large enough to reflect light, therefore the substance's color is shown. An example may be milk because the milk's particles can not be seen individually, but all of them make up a color.
Does stirring a electrolyte into a colloid stabilize the colloid?
Yes, stirring an electrolyte into a colloid can stabilize the colloid by causing the charged particles in the electrolyte to neutralize the charges on the colloid particles. This reduces the repulsion between the colloid particles and prevents them from aggregating or coagulating.
Are colloid particles bigger smaller or equal in size compared to those of suspensions?
Colloid particles are smaller than suspensions particles.
What is a homogeneous mixture where particles are suspended?
A homogeneous mixture where particles are suspended is known as a colloid. In a colloid, the particles are not fully dissolved but are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, giving it a uniform appearance. Examples of colloids include milk, fog, and gelatin.
Is ketchup a solution?
No, ketchup is not a solution because in a solution you can't see the particles but in ketchup if you look with a microscope you can see the particles. Making ketchup a colloid!
What is a homogeneous mixture in which particles are so small that they cannot be seen without a microscope?
Solution
How can you tell the difference between a solution and a clear colloid?
Solutions are mixtures on an atomic or molecular level; the mixture is so fine grained that you could never see it with a microscope. All you would see is a homogeneous substance. Colloidal suspensions contain tiny particles that you might be unable to see with the unaided eye, but which you could see with a microscope.
What kind of microscope do you need to see particles?
To see particles, such as individual cells or microorganisms, you would typically need a light microscope. However, to see smaller particles like viruses or nanoparticles, you would need an electron microscope.

In a suspension can you see particles with a microscope?
Yes, I think

Are colloid particles bigger smaller or equal in size compared to those of suspensions?
Colloid particles are smaller than suspensions particles.
What causes the Brownian motion of particles in a colloid?
Brownian motion of particles in a colloid is caused by random collisions with solvent molecules. These collisions result in erratic movement of the particles within the colloid due to thermal energy. Brownian motion helps to keep the particles suspended and well dispersed within the colloid.
How is a suspension different from a colloid?
Suspension has particles, same as colloids. However, the particles in a suspension do not settle down but if is no so for the colloid.

A homogeneous mixture where particles are suspended is known as a colloid. In a colloid, the particles are not fully dissolved but are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, giving it a uniform appearance. Examples of colloids include milk, fog, and gelatin.
What is one difference between a colloid and solution?
One difference is the size of particles: in a solution, particles are uniformly dispersed at a molecular level, whereas in a colloid, particles are larger and dispersed throughout the mixture but do not settle out.
