The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the properties of the liquid described. Here are the steps to arrive at the correct answer: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Light Scattering**: - The question states that the liquid scatters a beam of light. This phenomenon is known as the Tyndall effect, which occurs when light is scattered by particles in a colloidal solution. 2. **Analyzing the Filtration**: - The liquid leaves no residue when passed through filter paper. This indicates that the particles in the liquid are small enough to pass through the pores of the filter paper without leaving any solid residue. 3. **Identifying the Type of Mixture**: - Based on the Tyndall effect, we can conclude that the liquid is not a true solution (which does not scatter light) and is not a suspension (which would leave residue). - Since the particles are small enough to pass through the filter paper but still scatter light, the liquid must be a colloidal solution. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the liquid is a colloidal solution. ### Final Answer: The liquid is a **colloidal solution**.
