Differeneciate between solution, colloid and suspension according to their:
(A) size of particles
(B) stability
(C) tyndall effect
Answers
Solution is a homogeneous mixture. The particles of solution are smaller than 1 nano meter in diameter. They cannot be seen by naked eye. Because of very small particle size it do not scatter the beam of light passing through it so the path of light is not visible and it has no tyndall effect. The solute particles do not settle down when undisturbed so it is stable.
Suspension is a hetrogeneous mixture. The particles of suspension can be seen with naked eye. The particles of suspension scatters the beam of light passing through it and makes the path visible so it has tyndall effect. Particles of suspension settle down when undisturbed so the suspension is stable.
Colloid is a hetrogeneous mixture. The size of particles are too smallto be individually seen by naked eye. Colloids are big enough to scatter the beam of light passing through it and makes the path visible. Colloids are quite stable because their particles do not settle down when undisturbed...
