How do colloids differ from solutions with regard to dispersed particle size and homogeneity?
Added by David A.
Step 1
The dispersed phase in colloids is larger in size, ranging from 1 nanometer to 1 micrometer, whereas in solutions, the solute particles are typically less than 1 nanometer in size. Show more…
