Question

which type of mixture has varying sizes of particles that are large enough to cause visual distortions but not large enough to settle or be filtered out of the mixture? a suspension b colloid c solution d homogeneous

Explanation:

• A suspension has large particles that can settle out over time.
• A solution has very small particles (molecules or ions) that do not cause visual distortions.
• A homogeneous mixture is uniform throughout and does not match the description of particle size causing visual distortion.
• A colloid has particles of varying sizes that are large enough to cause visual distortions (like the Tyndall effect - scattering of light) but not large enough to settle or be filtered out easily.

Answer:

B. colloid
