A colloidal mixture is sometimes called a colloidal system, a colloidal suspension, or simply a "colloid." The smallest dimension of the minor component of a colloidal mixture can range from approximately one nanometer (1 billionth of a meter) to one micrometer (1 millionth of a meter). Examples of liquid colloidal mixtures are milk, paints, and muddy water. The medium can be a gas, in the cases of smog, smoke, or aerosol sprays. Some solids are considered to be colloidal mixtures, as in steel or foam rubber. A colloidal mixture is sometimes called a colloidal system, a colloidal suspension, or simply a "colloid."

∙ 11y agoA mixture where particles are dispersed throughout a liquid or gas ,but are not heavy enough to settle out.
(Ex. Jello, Whipped Cream, Milk, Mayo)
T.S.C.
A colloid is a type of mixture in which tiny particles of one substance are evenly disperse in another substance and do not settle out over time. Fog/mist is a good example, it is a gas that has liquid particles distributed throughout it.

Not a mixture or a solution?
A colloidal suspension is neither a mixture nor a solution.
Is made up of 2 or more pure substances jumbled together either homogeneously or heterogeneously?
This is a colloidal mixture, such as milk, the mixture though not made of soluble solids, colloidal solids are actually held in suspension in the solvent (water, alcohol, or oil) and do not readily precipitate from the fluid.
What is a mixture of solid and liquid which will separate if allowed to stand?
sand and water.
In the presence of an emulsifying agent a mixture of oil and water becomes a .?
Water and oil form a colloidal dispesion.
Is milk a solution?
NO it is a heterogenous mixture which means that you can see the different phases or statesYes to spicy food.Milk is not a solution, it is a colloidal suspension.
What are the colloidal mixture?
A colloidal mixture contain particles with dimension under 1 000 nm.
Which type of mixture has particles large enough to scatter light?
This is a colloidal mixture.
What is a mixture in which particles are suspended in a solution called?
Such a mixture is called a colloidal solution.
What is colloidal dispersion?
When particles are suspended in a viscous (thick) mixture. Lots of oatmeal based lotions are colloidal.
What are the 3 kinds of mixture?
In science, there are three types of mixtures. These mixture types are, suspension mixture, colloidal mixture and a solution.
Is homogenized milk a compound or a mixture?
Homogenised milk is a homogeneous colloidal dispersion of the milk solids in the liquid milk. The colloidal particles are sized as per the requirements in high-speed colloidal mills. It is not a heterogeneous mixture.
Not a mixture or a solution?

What is a substance with particles too large to dissolve called?
A colloid is a mixture in which one substance is divided into minute particles (called colloidal particles) and dispersed throughout a second substance. The mixture they form is called a colloidal dispersion. A colloidal dispersion consists of colloids in a dispersing medium. It doesn't have to be liquid.
Is butter a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture?
Butter is a colloidal solution as it shows Tyndall effect. Tyndall effect is scattering of beam of light by the particles of colloidal solution. The dispersed phase in butter is liquid and dispersion medium is solid. The colloidal solution is always a part of heterogeneous mixture. Therefore, Butter is a heterogenous mixture.
Any mixture that is heterogeneous on a microscopic level?
all the colloidal solutions or emultios are microscopically heterogeneous....
