What is the state of matter of a colloid?

  • Solid

  • Liquid

  • Plasma

  • None

Answer

The state of matter of a colloid is a dispersion of particles of one substance (the dispersed phase) throughout another substance (the dispersion medium). The dispersed phase particles have a diameter of between 1 and 1000 nanometers. Colloids are mixtures that appear homogeneous to the naked eye but are actually heterogeneous when examined under a microscope.
