Question
In what respects does a true solution differ from a colloidal solution?
✓
Answer
A true solution does not scatter a beam of light passing through it but a colloidal solution scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders its path visible. A true solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances whereas a colloidal solution is a kind of solution in which the size of solute particles is intermediate between those in true solutions and those in suspensions and is a heterogeneous mixture.
