Question
classify the following as a heterogeneous mixture (suspension), homogeneous mixture (solution), or a colloid: liquid soap. colloid; homogeneous mixture (solution); heterogeneous mixture (suspension)
Liquid soap consists of tiny dispersed particles (soap micelles) that are larger than ions in a solution but small enough to remain dispersed without settling, fitting the definition of a colloid. It does not separate into distinct visible layers like a suspension, nor are its components uniformly dissolved at the ionic/molecular level like a true solution.
