Question

Give four properties of a colloidal solution

Answer 1

The properties of a colloidal solution are as follows:

1. Their particle size varies between 1nm - 100nm.

2. They seem to be homogenous mixture, but are actually heterogeneous mixture.

3. They pass though the filter paper. Thus, no residue is left on filtration.

4. They are stable. The particles won't settle down after some time.

5. They show Tyndall effect.
