Soot in the air is considered a suspension colloid. It consists of fine particles that are dispersed throughout the air but not dissolved in it, allowing them to remain suspended for extended periods. Unlike a solution, where substances are fully dissolved, in a colloidal suspension, the particles can scatter light, which is characteristic of colloids.

I think the dust in air is neither a colloid, a suspension nor a solution. REASONS: 1. You can not say that it is a colloid because the common characteristic of a colloid is sticky like lotions and gels; 2. You can not say that it is a suspension because if it is, we should be able to identify easily the solid particles in the air which is the dust; 3. You can not say that it is a solution because it should form only liquid phase as result. Though I don't think is it is a colloid, a suspension, or a solution, I am sure that it is MIXTURE.
Air is neither a colloïd solution nor suspension. It is quite the opposite: a homogeneous mixture, like ALL gases do: there is only ONE existent gas phase .
It is not because ot is not evenly mixed together. It is a colloid, specifically an aerosol.
Yes, hairspray is a colloid. It is a mixture of liquid droplets (such as water and various solvents) dispersed in air, forming a stable homogenous solution.
how do i find the compressure for my rear suspension? or any possible issues for rear air suspension wire issues.
I think soot and smog come from the air pollution.
Smog is considered a colloid. A colloid is a mixture where one substance is evenly dispersed throughout another. In the case of smog, tiny particles of pollutants and gases are suspended in the air, creating a colloid. This is different from a suspension, where larger particles are suspended in a liquid or gas but eventually settle out due to gravity.

An example of a solution is salt water. An example of a suspension is Italian salad dressing. An example of a colloid is mayonnaise.
Snow is considered a suspension. It consists of water (in the form of ice crystals) and air, along with tiny particles like dust and other impurities. The solid ice crystals are suspended in the air, which distinguishes it from a solution where one substance completely dissolves in another. In a colloid, the particles are dispersed but not fully dissolved, which is not the case with snow.
This situation demonstrates that the air in the room is a solution. Air is a mixture of gases, and when light passes through it, it shows a homogeneous mixture without visible particles or scattering, characteristic of a solution.
