A property of a colloidal dispersion which a solution does not have is?
Answer Details
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, while a colloidal dispersion is a heterogeneous mixture where particles are dispersed in a continuous medium. One property of a colloidal dispersion that a solution does not have is the Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles, which makes the path of the light visible. In a solution, the particles are too small to scatter light, so the path of light is not visible. Homogeneity, osmotic pressure, and surface polarity are properties that both solutions and colloidal dispersions can have.
