Simply put "a perminent distribution of the substance in the solvent". Colloids don't really form true solutions like sodium chloride does with water. Think of "Milk" as a great example. Water, Fats, and Proteins all get mixed together to make milk. The fats and proteins don't really get broken down, just kind of suspended in the mix.
When particles are suspended in a viscous (thick) mixture. Lots of oatmeal based lotions are colloidal.
Dense smoke from a forest fire - would disperse in the atmosphere. This would be an example of natural dispersion
distinguish between dispersion and skewness
Dispersion is the act of spreading people or things (like seeds) out over a large area. Measures of dispersion tell us the degree of variation of values in a sample or population.
The Absolute Measure of dispersion is basically the measure of variation from the mean such as standard deviation. On the other hand the relative measure of dispersion is basically the position of a certain variable with reference to or as compared with the other variables. Such as the percentiles or the z-score.
Three examples of colloids include milk (a colloidal dispersion of fat particles in water), fog (a colloidal dispersion of liquid water droplets in air), and whipped cream (a colloidal dispersion of air bubbles in liquid cream).
solid in a liquid
An emulsion is a colloidal dispersion of two or more immiscible liquids, where one liquid is dispersed in the other in the form of small droplets.
When particles are suspended in a viscous (thick) mixture. Lots of oatmeal based lotions are colloidal.
yes!
Tyndall effect
sand and water.
particles suspended in a gas or liquid. When the dispenser is activated, the colloidal dispersion is released as a fine mist or spray. This allows for the efficient distribution of the particles for various applications such as air fresheners, insect repellents, or medications.
The two phases of a colloid are the dispersed phase (the particles that are distributed throughout the dispersion medium) and the dispersion medium (the substance in which the dispersed phase is suspended).
One property of skim milk indicating that it is a colloidal dispersion is its opalescent or milky appearance, which is due to the scattering of light by the dispersed fat globules. This indicates that the fat globules are suspended in the liquid without settling out.
A rainbow is an example of dispersion noob
It is classified as a colloidal dispersion. Where elements are suspended in another medium and are evenly dispersed through that medium. Homogenization of milk involves mixing milk and milk fat(cream) under high pressure to more evenly disperse milk fat through the milk. It is still a colloidal dispersion. *Note: Addition of some chemicals, colloidal agents, can aid colloids in maintaining a dispersion. Other chemicals known as flocculants aid in the collection of colloidal material into polymer chains which clump together and precipitate out of the fluid.
