What is the difference between True solution and Colloid
The following difference between True solution and Colloid are given below:
| No. | True solution | Colloid |
| 1 | True solution is a homogenous mixture. | Colloid is a heterogenous mixture. |
| 2 | In true solution, the diameter of the solutes is equal to 1 nm or less than 10-7 cm. | In colloid solution, the diameter of the solute particles range from 1 nm to 100 nm. |
| 3 | The solute particles of a true solution can easily pass through a general filter paper and parchment paper. | The solute particles of the colloidal solution can pass through the normal filter paper but cannot penetrate through the parchment paper. |
| 4 | The solute particles of the true solution diffuse rapidly. | The solute particles of the colloidal solution diffuse gradually. |
| 5 | There is no reflection or diffraction of light in true solution. | Light radiation is diffracted by colloidal solution. |
| 6 | True solution does not show Brownian movement. | Colloidal solution shows Brownian movement. |
