Question

difference between true solution Suspension and colloid​

Answer 1

solution

• homogeneous
• particles are smaller than 1 nm in diameter
• do not scatter beam of light.
• cannot be separated by filtration
• evaporation is the method of separation
• stable

suspension

• heterogeneous
• particles are large
• unstable
• solute and solvent separated by filtration
• scatters beam of light

colloid

• heterogeneous
• microscopic particles
• quite stable
• scatters beam of light
• filtration is not possible
• centrifugation is the method of separation.
