Answer : The true statements are:
(a) Emulsions are a type of colloid
(b) The particles of a colloid are larger than the particles of a solution
(d) Many colloids scatter light (tyndal effect)
Explanation :
Colloid : It is defined as the solution in which the one substance is insoluble in another solution that means the insoluble substance rotating in the solution.
The particles of a colloid are larger than the particles of a solution.
Colloid do not separate on standing.
Cannot be separated by filtration.
Scatter light (Tyndall effect).
For example :
Milk is considered as a colloid because various substances (fats, proteins etc..) are present in milk which are suspended in a solution.
Suspension : It is a heterogeneous mixture in which some of the particles are settle down in the mixture on standing or over time.
The particles in a suspension are far larger than those of a solution.
Emulsion : It is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible.
Emulsions are a type of colloid.
