Is colloid homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether a colloid is classified as a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture. Colloids are mixtures where small particles are dispersed throughout a medium, and they can exhibit properties of both types of mixtures, but they are generally regarded as heterogeneous due to the presence of distinct phases.
Answer

The final answer is heterogeneous.
Answer for screen readers

More Information
Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures because the particles are dispersed throughout another substance, creating a non-uniform composition.
