kolloidlahusteks

Kolloidlahusteks, often referred to as colloidal solutions or colloidal dispersions, are a type of mixture where one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another. Unlike true solutions where particles are dissolved at a molecular or ionic level, in a colloidal solution, the dispersed particles are larger, typically ranging in size from 1 nanometer to 1 micrometer. These particles are not large enough to settle out under gravity but are substantial enough to scatter light, a phenomenon known as the Tyndall effect. Examples of colloidal solutions include milk, fog, smoke, and jelly. The dispersed phase, which consists of the tiny particles, is suspended within a continuous medium called the dispersion medium. The properties of colloidal solutions depend on the nature of both the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium, as well as the particle size and concentration. They are distinct from suspensions, where particles are much larger and will eventually settle. Colloidal solutions are ubiquitous in nature and industry, playing roles in food science, medicine, and material manufacturing.
