Compare suspension and colloidal solution on the basis of (a) type of mixture (b) particle size (c ) scattering of light (d) stability.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Both are heterogeneous mixture.
(b) In colloidal solution, particle size ranges between `10^(-9)` m to `10^(-7)`m whereas in suspension, the particle size is more than `10^(-7)`m.
(c ) Colloidal solution has the capacity to scatter the path of light when made to pass through it whereas a suspension is unable to do so.
(d) A suspension is more stable than a colloidal solution.
