COLLOIDS
Chat with our AI personalities
Colloid has larger particles compared to solution, but smaller than suspension. Therefore, of the three options listed (compound, colloid, suspension), a compound mixture typically has the smallest particles.
A suspension is the mixture with the largest particles.
The smallest particles of matter are called atoms. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Visible particles would be heterogeneous elements of a mixture. A truly homogeneous mixture would have no visible particles. However, you could still have an approximately homogeneous mixture with visible particles, evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
A Suspension is a mixture in which particles of a material are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas, a Colloid is a mixture in which the particles are dispersed throughout but are not heavy enough to settle out, and a solution is a uniform mixture that contains a solvent and at least one solute.
