Question

List any three properties on the basis of which a colloidal solution can be differentiated from true solution and suspension

Answer 1

Properties that can help distinguish a colloidal solution:

1)The particles in a colloidal solution cannot be viewed by naked eyes but only through an ultra microsope.

2)Colloidal solutions cannot be filtered using a filter paper but rather using a parchment paper or a cell membrane.

3)The solution formed in a colloidal solution is heterogeneous and not homogeneous as true solutions..

4)Colloidal solutions are translucent and not transparent
