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 solution:
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
>1000nm
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
