A colloid is a substance

microscopically dispersed
throughout another substance.
 The word colloid comes from a
Greek word 'kolla', which
means glue thus colloidal
particles are glue like
substances.
 These particles pass through a
filter paper but not through
semipermeable membrane.
Colloids can be made
settle by the process
of centrifugation.
Has particles that are
not as small as a
solution and not as
large as a suspension.
The particles are
intermediate in size.
A beam of light
passing through a
transparent pure
colorless solid, liquid
or gas cannot be
seen except at the
point where it enters
and leaves the
object.

FOAM: is a substance formed by
trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or
solid.
colloidal dispersion of
liquid either a liquid or
a solid. The 2
components of an
emulsion are usually
immiscible and
require an addition of
emulsifying agent or
peptizing agent to
form stable emulsion.
If the dispersed
particles in an
emulsion are relatively
large, they still tend to
separate from the
dispersion medium.
This could be
prevented by the a
process called

d)A colloid has a negative charge.
a)A mixture consists of two or more pure
substances that can only be separated using
a chemical process.
b) A colloid is a 'cloudy' mixture containing
particles that will not settle out.
c) A suspension contains particles that will not
settle out if the suspension is left standing.
d)A solution consists of a solute dissolved in a
solute.
