The components of a true solution can be separated by filtration.
Depending upon the size of the particle size substances classified into solution, colloids and suspension
True solution | Colloids | Suspension |
The size of the solute particles is less than 1 nm | The size of the colloidal particles have 1-1000 nm size. | The size of the suspended particles are greater than 1000 nm size. |
The particles are too small to see with the naked eye and do not settle down when left undisturbed. | The particles do not settle down when left undisturbed. | The particles are large enough to seen with the naked eye and settle down when left undisturbed. |
Examples: sugar solution | Examples: milk | Examples: sand in water |
To separate the particles of solution with the filter paper is difficult since the particles are too small and pass through the pores, so it does not separate through the process of filtration.
Therefore, the given statement is false
