    Colloids: Chapter 14 in Chemistry by Whitten

    Colloids are mixtures with particle sizes between true solutions and suspensions. Unlike suspensions, colloidal particles do not settle out of solution but make it appear cloudy or opaque. Examples of colloids include fog, smoke, paint, milk, mayonnaise, shaving cream, and clouds. Colloids can be distinguished from solutions using the Tyndall effect, where a beam of light is scattered by the dispersed colloidal particles.

    CHEM 301 LECTURE

    COLLOIDS
    Chapter 14 in Chemistry by Whitten
    Colloids
    an intermediate type of mixture that has a particle size between those of true solutions and suspensions
    the particles do not settle out of the solution but they make the solution cloudy or opaque
    Examples of colloids include:
    1. Fog
    2. Smoke
    3. Paint
    4. Milk
    5. Mayonnaise
    6. Shaving cream
    7. Clouds

    Suspension
    larger particle size of the dispersed phase
    the particles settle after standing

    Tyndall Effect
    a beam of light is scattered by the dispersed phase; used to differentiate colloids from solutions

    You can observe this by preparing a starch mixture (dissolve starch in hot water) and a laser pointer.
