Colloidal Suspension

Definition: Colloidal suspension refers to a mixture where tiny particles or droplets are dispersed throughout a medium, typically a liquid. The particles in a colloidal suspension are of intermediate size, larger than individual molecules but smaller than those in a coarse suspension.

Examples:

• In chemistry, milk can be considered a colloidal suspension as fat globules are suspended in water.
• Paint is another common example of a colloidal suspension, where pigment particles are dispersed in a liquid binder.
• The presence of fog in the air can be attributed to tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere, forming a colloidal suspension.
