In colloids, the atoms or particles are suspended in a fluid and exhibit Brownian motion, which is the random movement caused by collisions with the surrounding molecules of the dispersing medium. This motion is influenced by factors such as temperature, viscosity of the medium, and the size of the particles. As a result, the particles can move in various directions, leading to a stable suspension as they are kept dispersed rather than settling out.

IS AN ALLOY IS A SOLUTION COLLOIDS OR SUSPENSION?

An alloy is a solid solution composed of two or more metals. It is not a colloid or suspension as it does not have separate phases like in colloids or suspensions where particles are dispersed in a medium. In an alloy, the atoms of different metals are mixed at the atomic level, forming a homogeneous mixture.

Do the atoms of gasses move faster than the atoms of solids?

In a solid the atoms are tightly packed together and vibrate in place, in a liquid the atoms are loosely packed together and can move past each other, and in a gas the atoms are far apart and move freely and collide frequently.


What is the visibility of colloids?

colloids are not visible due to their tiny particle size, (when the colloid is stable).


When colloids are filtered do they leave residue?

Yes, colloids can leave a residue when filtered. Colloids are larger particles that can be trapped by the filter, resulting in a residue left behind after filtration.


Is it True or false that atoms can move freely?

False. Atoms do not move freely in all states of matter. In solids, atoms are closely packed and vibrate in place, while in liquids, they can move past one another but are still somewhat restricted. In gases, atoms move more freely and independently, occupying the available space.
