Colloid is a type of mixture where small particles are suspended in a medium, such as a liquid, solid, or gas. The particles in a colloid are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension. Examples of colloids include milk, fog, and Gelatin.
Colloid: A colloid is a lot like a suspension. The only difference is that the dust is so fine that it wont settle down in the water. Colloid liquids are fairly merky
Mixture: A Mixture contains different 2 or more substances.
Suspension: A liquid that contains visible, invisible and in-soluble particles.
Solution: To see a solution, hold the liquid up to the light. Small particles should be seen. A solution must contain more than 1 substance
A "colloidal system" can be defined as one of these states finely dispersed in another. These colloids have special properties that are of great practical importance. There are various examples of colloidal systems that can be considered. The following table shows the classification of colloids and contains examples of each type.Continuous phase

Colloid systems usually have dimensions of less than 1 micron, which results in a very high surface-to-volume ratio. Therefore, surface chemistry plays a very important part in the study of colloidal systems.
No, a mixture of chalk and water is not a colloid. A colloid is a mixture where one substance is evenly dispersed in another substance, forming a homogeneous mixture. Since chalk does not form a homogeneous mixture with water, it is not considered a colloid.
A colloid is not a homogeneous mixture because it contains dispersed particles that are not uniformly distributed throughout the medium. In a colloid, the particles are larger than those in a solution, but smaller than those in a suspension.
The Tyndall Effect can help determine if a mixture is a colloid by observing if the mixture scatters light. Colloids will scatter light, causing the light beam to become visible when passing through the mixture. If the mixture does not scatter light, it is likely not a colloid.
No, gold is not a colloid. Gold is a pure element and does not form a colloid by dispersing into another substance.
A solution is a homogenous mixture where the solute particles are evenly distributed in the solvent. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where the solute particles settle out over time. A colloid is a mixture where the solute particles are dispersed throughout the solvent but are not fully dissolved.

A colloid is a mixture of solid particles suspended in a liquid.
No, a mixture of chalk and water is not a colloid. A colloid is a mixture where one substance is evenly dispersed in another substance, forming a homogeneous mixture. Since chalk does not form a homogeneous mixture with water, it is not considered a colloid.
yes a colloid is a mixture.
Pepsi is mixture of elements
A colloid is not a homogeneous mixture because it contains dispersed particles that are not uniformly distributed throughout the medium. In a colloid, the particles are larger than those in a solution, but smaller than those in a suspension.
Gelatin is classified as a colloid mixture, specifically a type called a gel. It consists of protein molecules dispersed within water, forming a semi-solid structure.
A colloid is a mixture that appears to be a solution but it is actually a mechanical mixture. Two examples of a colloid are : MILK and STARCH DISSOLVED IN WATER.
A typical solution is a homogeneous mixture with only one phase; a suspension is a nonhomogeneous mixture.For a colloid the answer is more complicate: the appearance is homogeneous, single phase but at a microscopic scale the system is not homogeneous.
