उत्तर

Common salt (a typical crystalloid in an aqueous medium) behaves as a colloid in a benzene medium. Hence, we can say that a colloidal substance does not represent a separate class of substances. When the size of the solute particle lies between 1 nm and 1000 nm, it behaves as a colloid.

Hence, we can say that a colloid is not a substance but a state of the substance, which is dependent on the size of the particle. A colloidal state is intermediate between a true solution and a suspension.
