The correct Answer is:
To identify the false statement among the given options, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Statements**: We need to analyze each statement provided in the question to determine which one is false. 2. **Evaluate the First Statement**: - The first statement claims that "colloids are homogeneous." - This statement is **false** because colloids are actually **heterogeneous** mixtures. In heterogeneous mixtures, the components are not uniformly distributed. 3. **Evaluate the Second Statement**: - The second statement claims that "colloids show Tyndall effect." - This statement is **true**. The Tyndall effect occurs when light is scattered by colloidal particles, making this statement correct. 4. **Evaluate the Third Statement**: - The third statement claims that "colloids show Brownian movement." - This statement is also **true**. Brownian movement refers to the zigzag motion of colloidal particles due to collisions with molecules in the dispersion medium. 5. **Evaluate the Fourth Statement**: - The fourth statement claims that "the size of colloidal particles ranges between 1 to 100 nm." - This statement is **true**. Colloidal particles typically range in size from 1 nm to 100 nm. 6. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all the statements, the only false statement is the first one: "colloids are homogeneous." ### Final Answer: The false statement is: **"Colloids are homogeneous."** ---
