true
Colloids are classified frequently as solutions because the particles have very small dimensions.
No, the Tyndall effect is not observed in true solutions. True solutions contain solute particles that are smaller than the wavelength of visible light, so they do not scatter light and appear transparent. The Tyndall effect is only observed in colloids or suspensions where the particles are larger and can scatter light, making the solution appear cloudy or opaque.
Yes, in colloids, dispersed particles have polar surfaces that can attract the particles of the dispersion medium through electrostatic forces. These attracted particles form a stable dispersion due to forces like Van der Waals or electrostatic interactions. This phenomenon helps to keep the colloidal particles suspended and dispersed in the medium.
In true solutions the solute dissolves completely in the solvent at the molecular level, meaning that the solute particles are present at their molecular size - well below the size of a particle required to exhibit light scattering dispersion (the Tyndall effect).

Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures because they contain dispersed particles that are not dissolved and are larger than those found in true solutions, giving them the appearance of being mixed yet not fully dissolved.
You will be able to distinguishes suspensions form colloids and solutions because the suspensions components will separated. If a beam of light passing through a solution is not visible it is a Colloid.
The tyndall effect is a result of scattering from colloids that are around the wavelength of light, this is why milk does not appear blue.
Colloids produce the Tyndall effect because their particles are larger than the particles in a solution, allowing them to scatter light. When a beam of light passes through a colloid, it interacts with the dispersed particles, causing the light to become visible as a scattered beam. This scattering effect is what makes the colloid appear to be cloudy or milky when illuminated.
These mixtures are colloids or very fine suspensions.
True solutions do not exhibit Brownian motion. Brownian motion is a phenomenon observed in colloidal solutions, where the particles are much larger than molecules in true solutions. In true solutions, the solute particles are uniformly dispersed at the molecular level and do not exhibit the random movement seen in colloidal solutions.
The mixture containing particles that are too small to be seen easily but large enough to scatter a light beam is a colloidal mixture. These particles are known as colloids and they are intermediate in size between true solutions and suspensions.
Yes, soil can have colloidal properties because it contains organic matter, clay particles, and other materials that can form colloidal suspensions. Colloids are particles that are intermediate in size between true solutions and suspensions, and soil can exhibit colloidal behavior in terms of its ability to retain water and nutrients.
Yes, in colloids, dispersed particles have polar surfaces that can attract the particles of the dispersion medium through electrostatic forces. These attracted particles form a stable dispersion due to forces like Van der Waals or electrostatic interactions. This phenomenon helps to keep the colloidal particles suspended and dispersed in the medium.
