Compare in tabular form the properties of true solution and colloids with respect to Tyndall effect and stability.
(N/A)
$1$. $\text{Tyndall effect}$: In a true solution,the particles are too small to scatter light,so it does not show the Tyndall effect. In colloids,the particles are large enough to scatter a beam of light passing through them,thus exhibiting the Tyndall effect.
$2$. $\text{Stability}$: True solutions are highly stable as the solute particles do not settle down. Colloids are also stable,but the dispersed phase particles can be separated from the dispersion medium using the process of centrifugation.
| Property | True Solution | Colloid |
|---|---|---|
| Tyndall effect | Does not show Tyndall effect | Shows Tyndall effect |
| Stability | Stable | Stable (can be separated by centrifugation) |
