Homogeneous mixtures are regarded as solutions or true solutions. Heterogeneous mixtures are of two types.
These are suspensions and colloidal solutions. These differ in the size of the particles responsible for the
99
ep

difference in their properties. In a suspension, the particle size is more than 10-5 cm whereas in a colloidal
solution, it ranges between 10-5 cm to 10-7 cm. The two phases which constitute colloidal solutions, are
Pr

dispersed phase and dispersion medium. Based upon their nature, the colloidal solutions are classified into eight
types. The mixture of the non-reacting gases is always homogeneous irrespective of their nature. Therefore, it is
not a colloidal solution.
