But if you want to specify what the state of the material and the medium are, you have to use different terms. For instance liquid in gas would be a fog, gas in a liquid is foam, liquid in liquid (ie butterfat in milk) is an emulsion. And solid in a liquid is a sol. So Colloidal silver is specifically a sol, a solid suspended in a liquid. Marshall Sharon L. House wrote: > Dumb question time. I see the term "sol" used frequently.
