9. Based on the given paragraph, answer the Question.

In chemistry, a colloid is a mixture in which one substance of

microscopically dispersed insoluble or soluble particles is suspended

throughout another substance. Sometimes the dispersed substance

alone is called the colloid.

Unlike a solution, whose solute and solvent constitute only one phase,

a colloid has a dispersed phase (the suspended particles) and a

continuous phase (the medium of suspension) that arise by phase

separation. To qualify as a colloid, the mixture must be one that does

4

not settle or would take a very long time to settle

appreciably. These types of solutions also show the property of

scattering of light. The size of the particles is what distinguishes a

colloid from a true solution.
