Question

In a colloid, solution, or suspension, particles are dispersed throughout the mixture. What is the order of these three types of mixtures, from the smallest particle size to the largest?

Answer 1

1) solution
2) colloid
3) suspension

Answer 2

Answer: Order of mixtures having particle size smallest to large is:

$\text{Solution }$

Explanation:

The solutions are classified into 3 types on the basis of size of the particles.

1.) Solution: When the particle size is between 0.1 nm to 1 nm, then the solution is considered as a true solution.

2,) Colloid: When the particle size is between 2 to 1000 nm, then the solution is considered as a colloid.

3.) Suspension: When the particle size is greater than 1000 nm, then the solution is considered as a suspension.

Hence, the order of mixtures having particle size smallest to large is:

$\text{Solution }$
