Question

What are properties of colloid

Answer 1

Properties of a colloid

• A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture.
• The size of particles of a colloid is too small to be individually seen by unaided eye.
• Colloids are big enough to scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible.
• They do not settle down when left undisturbed, that is, a colloid is quite stable.

Answer 2

Colloid dispersions exhibit several properties. Among these are the scattering of a light beam directed through a colloidal dispersion. This is known as the Tyndall effect and its magnitude is due to the size and number of particles present.yup
