A mixture in which the suspended particles are too small to be seen with the naked eye is a _____.
A) pure substance
B) colloid
C) heterogeneous mixture
D) salt solution

Respuesta :

B) colloid is the correct answer

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A substance which cannot be separated by any physical means or whose molecules are consistently distributed throughout the sample is known as a pure substance.

For example, gold, water, carbon dioxide etc are all pure substances.

Whereas a substance whose particles are microscopically and evenly distributed throughout a solution or mixture is known as a colloid. In a colloid particles are very small that they cannot be seen with a naked eye.

For example, milk is a colloid.

A mixture in which particles are not evenly distributed throughout and are not uniform in composition is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

A salt solution is a solution that contains different compounds like sodium, potassium, calcium etc that helps in maintaining pH and osmotic pressure in a body.

Thus, we can conclude that a mixture in which the suspended particles are too small to be seen with the naked eye is a colloid.
