a particle substance that retains its identity and remains in liquid suspension
A liquid or a gas containing solid materials with very small size. (i.e. a few hundred thousands of a millimetre).
Of divided particles, which are approximately 10 to 10,000 angstroms in size.
like a substance that consists of particles dispersed throughout another substance, such as a mixture consisting of a colloid together with the medium in which it is dispersed (smoke is a colloid).
Colloidal describes atoms or molecules dispersed in a gas, liquid or solid, which resist sedimentation (setting to the bottom), diffusion (spreading out), and filtration.
Condition of matter depicted by its even distribution (solution) of microscopic particles with a diameter of 1 to 100 nm in a dispersing substance. Minerals are present in plants in colloidal form.
Finely divided particles trapped in between other particles so they don’t sink.
Microscopic particles suspended in some sort of liquid medium. The particles are between one nanometer and one micrometer in size and can be macromolecules. find all NHC pages containing: colloidal
