Difference between Colloid and Solution
Difference between Colloid and Solution are in tabular form below –
Colloid |
Solution |
1) A colloidal solution is a heterogeneous mixture of two or more substance. | A solution is a homogenous liquid containing two or more substances |
2) The size of the particles ranges from 1 nm to 100 nm | The size of the particles is 1nm. |
3) The colloid is particles can be separated from filtering through parchment paper. | The solution particles cannot separated through filtering.
|
4) Colloids only permeable through ultra filtration papers | Solution is permeable through most of the membrane. |
5) Light is scattered by large particles | Light passes through the solution. |
6) Colloids are translucent | Solutions are transparent. |
7) Brownian effect can be observed. | Brownian effect cannot be observed. |
8) The solute and solvent cannot be separated by ordinary filtration but can be separated by ultra filtration. | The solute and solvent cannot be separated by ordinary filtration or also by ultra filtration.
|
9) Particles do not settle down on their own but can make to settle down by centrifugation. | Particles do not settle down keep on maintenance.
|
10) Colloids solution diffuses slowly. | Solution diffuse quickly. |
11) Tyndall effects are shown by the colloids in the colloidal solutions. | The solutions do not show the tyndall effects.
|
12) The colloidal are quite stable. The purification of the solution usually do not separated out on keeping | The solution are very stable, the particles of solute present in a solution do not separate out on keeping. |
13) The particles are very small thus they does not scatter light | The particles are fairly large, hence they scattered a beam of the light.
