The statement “Colloidal solution is homogenous in nature” is NOT true.<\/section>\n
Colloidal solutions are fundamentally heterogeneous mixtures. Although they may appear homogeneous to the naked eye because the dispersed particles do not settle out, they are heterogeneous at the microscopic level.<\/section>\n
Properties of colloidal solutions include: they are heterogeneous; the particle size is larger than in true solutions but smaller than in suspensions (typically 1 nm to 1 $\\mu$m); they exhibit the Tyndall effect (scattering of light); they undergo Brownian motion; they are generally stable and do not settle down when left undisturbed; they often carry an electric charge. Statement A is also generally not strictly true in the sense of uniform distribution like a true solution, but B is the most definitive and fundamental falsehood about the nature of colloids.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
