Q. Assertion :Particles of a colloidal solution do not settle down when left undisturbed, while in the case of a suspension they do. Reason: Particle size in a suspension is larger than those in a colloidal solution and molecular interaction in a suspension is not strong enough to keep the particles suspended

Q. Assertion :Colloidal sol scatter the beam of light while true solutions do not. Reason: The particles in colloidal sol are bigger than those of true solutions.

Q. The particles of a colloidal solution do not settle down with time and form a stable mixture.

Q. Assertion :Colloidal solutions are stable but colloidal particles do not settle down. Reason: Brownian movement counters the force of gravity actively on colloidal particles.
