Compare solution,suspension,and colloids in terms of:
$(a)$ stability
$(b)$ filterability
$(c)$ Tyndall effect
$(a)$ stability
$(b)$ filterability
$(c)$ Tyndall effect
(N/A)
Detailed Explanation:
$1$. Stability: Solutions and colloids are stable as their particles do not settle down over time. Suspensions are unstable because the solute particles settle down when left undisturbed.
$2$. Filterability: Particles in solutions and colloids are too small to be separated by filtration. In suspensions,particles are large enough to be separated by filter paper.
$3$. Tyndall effect: Colloids exhibit the Tyndall effect due to the scattering of light by dispersed particles. Solutions do not show this effect because particles are too small. Suspensions generally do not show the Tyndall effect as particles are too large and may settle,though they can scatter light if particles are suspended.
| Property | Solution | Suspension | Colloid |
|---|---|---|---|
| $(a)$ Stability | Stable | Unstable | Stable |
| $(b)$ Filterability | Cannot be filtered | Can be filtered | Cannot be filtered |
| $(c)$ Tyndall effect | Does not show | Does not show | Shows |
