Question 30 • GCS 2025-2026 Physical Science Credit Recovery

Which is a characteristic of colloids?

Answer
A
are homogeneous mixtures
B
have large dispersed particles
C
will settle out over time
D
are made up of at least two substances

Explanation

A colloid is a mixture in which particles of one substance are dispersed throughout another, so it contains at least two substances. Its particles do not settle out over time, unlike particles in a suspension, and colloids are not homogeneous mixtures at the particle level. Therefore, “are made up of at least two substances” is the correct choice.
