Mention any 5 differences between solution, colloid, and suspension?
| Property | True Solution | Colloidal Solutions | Suspension |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size of the particles | < 1nm | 1– 1000nm | >1000nm |
| Nature | Homogeneous | Heterogeneous | Heterogeneous |
| Filterability(Diffusion through parchment paper) | Particles of true Solution diffuse rapidly through filter paper as well as parchment paper. | Colloidal particles pass through filter paper but not through parchment paper. | Suspension particles do not pass through filter paper and parchment paper. |
| Visibility | Particles of True Solution are not visible to naked eye. | Colloidal particles are not seen to naked eye but can be studied through ultra microscope. | Suspension particles are big enough to be seen by naked eye. |
| Tyndall effect | True Solution does not show Tyndall effect. | Colloids shows Tyndall effect. | Suspension may or may not show Tyndall effect. |
| Appearance | Transparent | Translucent | Opaque |
