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."

A colloidal mixture is a type of mixture where one substance is dispersed in another substance in the form of tiny particles or droplets. These particles are larger than individual molecules but small enough that they do not settle out of the mixture over time. Examples include fog, milk, and Gelatin.
A 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.
sand and water.
Water and oil form a colloidal dispesion.
Yes, starch is considered a colloidal substance. It forms a colloidal dispersion when it is mixed with water, forming a stable mixture where the starch molecules are suspended in the liquid without settling out.
Light may not pass through a colloidal mixture because the particles in the mixture are larger than the wavelengths of light, causing scattering rather than transmission. This scattering of light is what makes colloidal suspensions appear cloudy or opaque.
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.
