Solution

Colloidal Solution:
It is a heterogeneous mixture made up of two phases namely, the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium.
The components of a colloidal solution are the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium.
Dispersed phase: The solute-like component of the dispersed particles in a colloid form the dispersed phase.
Dispersion medium: The component in which the dispersed phase is suspended is known as the dispersing medium.
Thus, smoke is an example of a colloidal system where the dispersed phase is solid and the dispersion medium is gas.
