The correct Answer is:
To determine what type of colloidal system milk represents, we can analyze the definitions and characteristics of the options provided: emulsion, suspension, foam, and sol. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Colloids**: - Colloids consist of two phases: a dispersed phase and a continuous phase (or medium). The dispersed phase is the substance that is distributed throughout the medium. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - **Emulsion**: A colloidal system where both the dispersed phase and the continuous phase are liquids. An example is oil in water. - **Suspension**: A mixture where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid. An example is sand in water. - **Foam**: A colloidal system where gas bubbles are dispersed in a liquid. An example is whipped cream. - **Sol**: A colloidal system where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid. An example is paint. 3. **Analyzing Milk**: - Milk consists of fat globules (dispersed phase) suspended in water (continuous phase). The fat is in liquid form, making it a mixture of two liquids. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since milk contains fat droplets dispersed in water, it fits the definition of an emulsion, where both the dispersed phase and the continuous phase are liquids. ### Final Answer: Milk is an example of an **emulsion**. ---
