suspension, true solution and colloids
Arrange the following in the decreaing order of their particle size:
suspension, true solution and colloids
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Suspension > Colloidal > True solution
A true solution is a homogeneous mixture. So, the particles will be completely dissolved.
Suspension and colloidal solutions are heterogeneous mixtures. The particles in colloidal solutions are relatively smaller than suspensions. However, the particles of a suspension can be seen with the naked eye, as opposed to a colloid.
Hence, the size of particles in suspension, true solution and colloidal solution varies in the order: Suspension > Colloid > True solution.
