Colloids are classified frequently as solutions because the particles have very small dimensions.

∙ 7y agoA true solution has only one phase. Suspensions and colloids have two phases; the particles dimension is different.
suspension
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.
Mechanical Mixture, because you can physically separate it.
Suspension consists of the largest particles among colloid, homogeneous mixture, solution. Suspensions contain particles that are visible to the naked eye and typically settle over time.
Gasoline is a mixture of several hydrocarbons and various additives.

A colloid.
Yes, mouthwash is a colloid. It is a liquid mixture containing suspended particles that do not settle out.
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.
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.
The order from smallest particle size to largest particle size is: solution (smallest), colloid, suspension (largest).
A colloid is not a single compound; it is a mixture with properties between those of a solution and fine suspension.
Mechanical Mixture, because you can physically separate it.
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.
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.
