b.
soil and water is a colloid because it consists of minute particles suspended in the medium. milk is a suspension because it consists of larger particles suspended in the medium, which start to settle when allowed to stand.
c.
soil and water is a colloid because it has a uniform composition. milk is a suspension because it doesn’t have a uniform composition.
d.
soil and water is a suspension because it consists of larger particles suspended in the medium, which start to settle when allowed to stand. milk is a colloid because it consists of minute particles that remain suspended in the medium.
e.
soil and water is a suspension because it has a uniform composition. milk is a colloid because it doesn’t have a uniform composition.
