compare and contrast colloids, solutions, and suspensions. write the characteristics of each in the table…

Brief Explanations:

Colloids have particles intermediate in size between solutions and suspensions. They don't settle out easily and can scatter light (Tyndall effect). Solutions have very small particles that are uniformly dispersed and don't scatter light. Suspensions have larger particles that will settle out over time.

Answer:

	colloids	solutions	suspensions
particles	Intermediate - sized, don't settle quickly	Very small, uniformly dispersed	Large, settle out
appearance	Can be cloudy or translucent, may show Tyndall effect	Clear and transparent, no Tyndall effect	Cloudy, may separate over time
