Solution

True SolutionsColloidsSuspension
  • A true solution is a homogeneous mixture.
  • The particles of a true solution cannot be distinguished from the solvent particles.
  • The size of solute particles is less than 1nm.
  • Particles of true solutions do not scatter light passing through it.
  • Particles of true solution do not settle down at the bottom when left undisturbed.
  • The particles of true solution cannot be separated by physical processes, like filtration etc.
  • A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture.
  • The particles of a colloid are too small to be individually seen by naked eyes.
  • The size of colloidal particles lies between 1nm to 1000nm.
  • Colloids are big enough to scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible.
  • They do not settle down when left
    undisturbed
  • They cannot be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration.
  • Suspension is a heterogeneous
    mixture.
  • The particles of a suspension can be seen by the naked eye.
  • The size of suspended particles is more than 1000nm.
  • The particles of a suspension scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible.
  • The solute particles settle down when a suspension is left undisturbed, that is, a suspension is unstable. They can be separated from the mixture by the
    process of filtration.
