Colloid


 A colloid, in chemistry, is a mixture in which one substance of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance.


In  IUPAC definition,  colloid is a short synonym for colloidal system, and colloidal is a state of subdivision such that the molecules or polymolecular particles dispersed in a medium have at least one dimension between approximately 1 nm and 1 μm, or that in a system discontinuities are found at distances of that order.


Types Of Colloid :

Solid-Sol


Colloid Characteristics:

1.Tyndall effect,
Tyndall effect is used commercially to determine the size and density of particles in aerosols and other colloidal matter

2.Adsorbtion
Adsorption is the adhesion of atomsions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface

3. Brownian Motion
Brownian motionis the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid (aliquid or a gas) resulting from their collision with the quick atoms or molecules in the gas or liquid. It makes the colloid cannot gravitate.

4.Coagulation
Coagulation is a process which involves coming together of colloidal particles so as to change into large sized particles which ultimately settle as a precipitate or float on the surface.

5. Electrophoresis
Electrophoresis is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field

6. Dialysis
Dialysis is the separation of colloids from dissolved ions or molecules of small dimensions, orcrystalloid, in a solution.
