A true solution has only one phase. Suspensions and colloids have two phases; the particles dimension is different.

How can a mixture be classified as a solution suspension or a colloid?

based on size of its largest particle


What kind of mixture is a solution suspension or a colloid?

Suspension

What is a mixture with properties between a solution and a suspension?

A colloid.


Is mouthwash a colloid?

Yes, mouthwash is a colloid. It is a liquid mixture containing suspended particles that do not settle out.


Which mixture has the smallest particles compound colloid suspension or solution?

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.


Homogeneous mixture of particles so small they cannot be seen and will never settle?

The substance you are describing is a colloid. Colloids contain particles that are intermediate in size between a solution and a suspension. These particles are small enough to stay dispersed and stable throughout the mixture, giving it a uniform appearance.


In a colloid solution or suspension particles are dispersed throughout the mixture. What is the order of these three types of mixtures from the smallest particle size to the largest?

The order from smallest particle size to largest particle size is: solution (smallest), colloid, suspension (largest).


Is a colloid a single compound or not?

A colloid is not a single compound; it is a mixture with properties between those of a solution and fine suspension.


Is koolaid a solution mechanical mixture a suspension or a colloid?

Mechanical Mixture, because you can physically separate it.


Is hot chocolate a suspension a solution or a colloid?

Hot chocolate is a colloid. It is a mixture where small particles of chocolate or cocoa are dispersed throughout a liquid (milk or water) to form a stable mixture.


What kind of mixture is solution suspension colloid?

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.
