Question:
Explain why particles of a colloidal solution do not settle down when left undisturbed while in the case of a suspension, they do.
Solution:
In a colloidal solution, the particle size is smaller as compared to particle size in a suspension. The effect of gravity on these particles is less than in a suspension. Therefore, the particles in a suspension settle under the influence of gravity while they remain dispersed in a colloidal solution.
