Based on the following characteristics distinguish the behavior of true solution,suspension and colloidal solution in tabular form. a[appearance] b[filiterability] c[Tyndall effect] d[visibility]

        True solutions:
1)Size of the particle
             < 1nm
2)Nature                             
     Homogeneous
3)Filter ability(Diffusion through parchment paper)
       Particles of true Solution diffuse rapidly through filter paper as well as parchment paper.
4)Visibility    
       Particles of True Solution are not visible to naked eye.
5)Tyndall effect    
       True Solution does not show Tyndall effect.
6)Appearance     
       Transparent                                   
      
      Colloidal solution:
1)Size of the particle
        1– 1000nm
2)Nature 
        Heterogeneous
3)Filter ability(Diffusion through parchment paper)
        Colloidal particles pass through filter paper but not through parchment paper.
4)Visibility
         Colloidal particles are not seen to naked eye but can be studied through ultra microscope.
5)Tyndall effect
          Colloids shows Tyndall effect.
6)Appearance  
          Translucent
   
      Suspension:
1)Size of the particle
2)Nature 
        Heterogeneous
3)Filter ability(Diffusion through parchment paper)
         Suspension particles do not pass through filter paper and parchment paper.
4)Visibility
         Suspension particles are big enough to be seen by naked eye.
5)Tyndall effect
         Suspension may or may not show Tyndall effect.
6)Appearance
         Opaque
