Colloid vs. Emulsion
Difference Between Colloid and Emulsion
Colloid➦
A colloid is a mixture in which one substance of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles are suspended throughout another substance. However, some definitions specify that the particles must be dispersed in a liquid, and others extend the definition to include substances like aerosols and gels.
0
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.
0
Colloid➦
A system in which finely divided particles, which are approximately 1 to 1,000 millimicrons in size, are dispersed within a continuous medium in a manner that prevents them from being filtered easily or settled rapidly.
0
Emulsion➦
a fine dispersion of minute droplets of one liquid in another in which it is not soluble or miscible

Colloid➦

0
Colloid➦
(chemistry) A stable system of two phases, one of which is dispersed in the other in the form of very small droplets or particles.
0
Emulsion➦
(chemistry) A colloid in which both phases are liquid.
0
Colloid➦
(meteorology) An intimate mixture of two substances, one of which, called the dispersed phase (or colloid), is uniformly distributed in a finely divided state throughout the second substance, called the dispersion medium (or dispersing medium).
0
Emulsion➦
(photography) The coating of photosensitive silver halide grains in a thin gelatine layer on a photographic film.

Colloid➦
(geology) A particle less than 1 micron in diameter, following the Wentworth scale
0
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.
