Solution Although solutions and colloid both are mixtures but we can differentiate solution and colloid on the basis of some parameter given below: 1) Particle size: Particle size of solution is less than 1nm or (10 -9 ) m Particles size of colloid are between 1nm to 1000 nm 2) Visibility In solutions the visibility of substances dissolved in it are not possible even with optical means.

1. 6. Both solutions and colloids are mixtures. Differentiate between them.
Solution
Although solutions and colloid both are mixtures but we can differentiate solution and colloid on
the basis of some parameter given below:
1) Particle size:
Particle size of solution is less than 1nm or
(10 -9
) m
Particles size of colloid are between 1nm to 1000 nm
2) Visibility
In solutions the visibility of substances dissolved in it are not possible even with optical means.
While in colloid it may be visible with ultra microscope.
3) Diffusion
Diffusion is very rapid in solution while very slow in colloid
4) setting
Solution doesn't settle while colloid may settle down under centrifuge .
5) Nature:
Solution is Homogeneous in nature while colloid is heterogeneous in nature.
6) Tyndall effect
Solution doesn't show Tyndall effect

2. Colloid shows Tyndall effect
So we can say that solution and colloid both are mixture but there are a lot of difference between
them.
