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

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
