A mixture that would not scatter light is a solution where the solute is completely dissolved at the molecular or ionic level, such as salt in water. In this case, the particles are too small to interfere with the passage of light, resulting in a clear solution. In contrast, mixtures with larger particles, like suspensions or colloids, would scatter light.

Colloids are mixtures that contain small particles suspended in a medium. These particles are large enough to scatter light, causing the mixture to appear cloudy or opaque when light is shone through it.
A homogenous mixture with particles that are much smaller than the wavelength of light would not scatter light. This is because there would be minimal interaction between the particles and the light waves, allowing the light to pass through without being scattered.
Suspensions and colloids exhibit the Tyndall Effect. When a beam of light is shone on either of these mixtures, it will be scattered by the continuous movement of the particles and not shine through to the other side.
The Tyndall effect is observed when a beam of light passes through a colloid, causing the light to scatter and become visible. This phenomenon occurs due to the particles in the colloid being large enough to scatter light, unlike in a true solution where particles are too small to scatter light. The Tyndall effect is commonly used to determine if a mixture is a true solution or a colloid.
Yes, colloids scatter light. Colloids are mechanical mixtures; all mechanical mixtures scatter light. Solutions are the only mixtures that do not scatter light. The scattering of light by mixtures is known as the Tyndall effect, btw.

because the particles in their mixtures are large enough to scatter light
A solution that is completely transparent and has uniform refractive index throughout will not scatter light. This means that the particles in the solution do not cause light to deviate from its path as it passes through. Examples of such mixtures could be pure water or a clear oil.
A solution with uniformly sized particles smaller than the wavelength of light will not scatter light.
A prism
Cloudiness in mixtures can be caused by particles suspended in the liquid that scatter light as it passes through. These particles are often larger than the wavelength of visible light, leading to light being redirected in many different directions, giving the mixture a cloudy appearance.

That is called a solution. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where one substance is dissolved in another, and the particles are too small to scatter light, rendering them transparent.
No because it is clear
Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.
