To which of the following category does ice-cream belong?
- A. Solution
- B. Emulsion
- C. Element
- D. Suspension
Step-by-step solution
Ice cream is a complex colloidal system where fat droplets are dispersed in a water-based continuous phase, making it primarily an emulsion. It is not a solution (particles too large), not an element (not a pure substance), and not a simple suspension (it is stabilized by emulsifiers).
