Well they are the same thing because a solution is a type of mixture. If there had to be a difference a colloid solution is when particles are mixed as a colloid in water but a colloid mixture could be anything: a gas colloid, a liquid colloid or a solid colloid. Or any of those three mixed together! It is complicated but basically the difference is that one is particles spread thought mixture and one isn't. Hope it helps :)

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.


Is a colloid a single compound or not?

A colloid is not a single compound; it is a mixture with properties between those of a solution and fine suspension.


How can you tell the difference between suspension colloid or solution?

Use the Tyndall Effect shine a light through it. If the light is scattered then it is colloidal. Both colloids and suspensions are heterogeneous. A solution will not show the beam through it's substance but the colloid will. The particles in the suspension will eventually settle at the bottom, showing that it is NOT a solution.

Why urea solution is not a colloid?

Urea solution is not a colloid because it is a homogeneous mixture where the urea molecules are uniformly dissolved in the solvent, usually water. In a colloid, the particles are not dissolved but are suspended within the solvent, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture.
