Question

how are sol, suspension and solution different from each other and give example of each

Answer 1

Sol(Colloidal solution) Solution Suspension

1.They are heterogeneous in nature 1.They are homogeneous in nature 1.They are heterogeneous in nature

2. They scatter a beam of light and hence show Tyndall effect. 2. They do not scatter a beam of light and hence do not show Tyndall effect. 2. They do not scatter a beam of light and hence do not show Tyndall effect.

3. They are quite stable 3. They are very stable 3. They are unstable

4. Examples of sol are: milk, blood smoke etc. 4. Examples of solution are: salt in water, sugar in water. 4. Examples of suspension are: sand in water, dusty air
