definition of colloids and it's classification
Answers
Particle size: btw. 1-100 no
Appearance: foggy and translucent
Homogeneity: appears to be homogeneous but is heterogeneous
Tyndall effect: is observed
Can be separated by: centrifugation or ultra-centrifugation
Example: milk+ water
What are colloids or colloidal solutions?
A colloidal solution or a colloid is a uniform solution of two or more substances. The particles are relatively very small that the solution appears as a homogeneous mixture but it is not.
Properties of colloids:
Colloids are heterogeneous in nature.
The particles of a colloid cannot be seen through naked eyes.
The particles scatter a beam of light passed through a colloid and produce Tyndall effect.
Colloids are stable in nature. The particles of colloids do not settle down if left uninterrupted.
We cannot separate the particles of a colloid through filtration. We use a method called Centrifugation to separate the particles of a colloid.
Classification of Colloids
Dispersed Phase – The dispersed particles or the solute-like components in a colloid
Dispersing Medium – The substance in which these solute-like particles are added.
