2. Colloid
   If the size of a particle is of the order 10 nm to 1 micron (10-8 to 10-6 metres), then a mixture of these particles with a continuous phase (e. g., tiny particles of dust in air or polymer in water) will have properties that are intermediate between those of a true solution and a mixture of largish particles in a substance.

7. Colloid
   A heterogeneous mixture composed of tiny particles suspended in another material. The particles are larger than molecules but less than 1 µm in diameter. Particles this small do not settle out and pass right through filter paper. Milk is an example of a colloid. The particles can be solid, tiny d...

10. colloid
    Colloids are systems in which there are two or more phases, with one (the dispersed phase) distributed in the other (the continuous phase). Moreover, at least one of the phases has small dimensions, in the range between 1 nanometer and 1 micrometer (10-9 - 10-6 m). Dimension, rather than the nature ...
