Sagot :

Answer:

a  colloid

Explanation:

Paint is classified a colloid

A colloid is a homogenous of two phases which are the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium.

The dispersed phase is analogous to the solute of the true solution while the dispersion medium is analogous to the solvent.

  • The particles of colloids are larger than those found in a solution.
  • Their particles do not settle on standing
  • Their particles pass through ordinary filter paper
  • Their particles do not pass through permeable membranes
