what is the difference between a suspension anda a colloid​

Sagot :

Answer:

Particles in a suspension are usually more than 1,000 nm, while those in a colloid range from 1-1,000 nm. ... Colloids are able to scatter light, but suspensions cannot transmit light. Particles in a suspension can be seen by the naked eye, but those in a colloid must be viewed using a light microscope.

Explanation:

A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture in which the dispersed particles are intermediate in size between those of a solution and a suspension. The particles are spread evenly throughout the dispersion medium, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas.
