Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The particles in both a solution and a colloid can scatter light.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The size of colloidal particles is large enough to scatter light while particles of a true solution are too small to scatter light.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light as a light beam passes through a colloid. The individual suspension particles scatter and reflect light, making the beam visible.

Detailed explanation-3: -In summary: A solution is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. The solution is homogeneous and does not settle out. A solution cannot be filtered but can be separated using the process of distillation.
