Question

Emulsions are formed by the mixture of which states of matter?

Answer 1

Emulsions are a sub-class of colloids, which are two-phase systems of matter. Although the terms colloid and emulsion are at times used indistinctly, emulsion applies only when both phases, dispersed and continuous, are liquids. A colloid is a mixture of a compound that is in solid, liquid, or gas state and a liquid.
