Compare with Definitions
Aerosol
An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. Aerosols can be natural or anthropogenic.
Emulsion
An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible (unmixable or unblendable) owing to liquid-liquid phase separation. Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids.
Aerosol
A gaseous suspension of fine solid or liquid particles.
Emulsion
A fine dispersion of minute droplets of one liquid in another in which it is not soluble or miscible
Oil beaten to an emulsion with a half tablespoonful of vinegar
Aerosol
The spray of fine particles of a substance, such as paint, asthma medication, or insecticide, that is released from an aerosol can.

Emulsion
A type of paint used for walls, consisting of pigment bound in a synthetic resin which forms an emulsion with water
Three coats of white emulsion

Aerosol
A mixture of fine solid particles or liquid droplets suspended in a gaseous medium.
Emulsion
A suspension of small globules of one liquid in a second liquid with which the first will not mix
An emulsion of oil in vinegar.
Aerosol
An aerosol can.
Emulsion
A photosensitive coating, usually of silver halide grains in a thin gelatin layer, on photographic film, paper, or glass.
Aerosol
The payload (e.g. insecticide, paint, oil, cosmetics) and propellant contained by an aerosol can.
Emulsion
A stable suspension of small droplets of one liquid in another with which it is immiscible.
Mayonnaise is an emulsion where egg is used to keep oil and water mixed.
Aerosol
(physics) A colloidal system in which the dispersed phase is composed of either solid or liquid particles and in which the dispersal medium is some gas, usually air.
Emulsion
(chemistry) A colloid in which both phases are liquid.
Aerosol
(transitive) To spray with an aerosol.
Emulsion
(photography) The coating of photosensitive silver halide grains in a thin gelatine layer on a photographic film.
Aerosol
A cloud of solid or liquid particles in a gas
Emulsion
Any liquid preparation of a color and consistency resembling milk; as: (a) In pharmacy, an extract of seeds, or a mixture of oil and water united by a mucilaginous substance. (b) In photography, a liquid preparation of collodion holding salt of silver, used in the photographic process.
Aerosol
A dispenser that forces a liquid out as a fine spray when a button is pressed
Emulsion
(chemistry) a colloid in which both phases are liquids;
An oil-in-water emulsion
Emulsion
A light-sensitive coating on paper or film; consists of fine grains of silver bromide suspended in a gelatin
