Question

Egg albumin in water forms:

• A. True solution
• B. Colloid
• C. Suspension
• D. None of these.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Colloid

Explanation:

The explanation for the Correct answer

(B) Colloids: (also known as colloidal solutions or colloidal systems) are mixtures in which microscopically dispersed insoluble particles of one substance are suspended in another substance. The size of the suspended particles in a colloid can range from $1\mathrm{to}1000\mathrm{nanometres}\left({10}^{-9}\mathrm{metres}\right)$

The explanation for the incorrect answer

(A) Suspension: In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation.

(C) A true solution: is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in which the particle size of the material dissolved (solute) in the solvent is less than ${10}^{-9}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{or}1\mathrm{nm}$.

Final answer: The correct answer is an option (B)
