Is smoke a kind of gas? (of science?)?

Question

I cant seem to find anything on the computer...

So please help I am trying to figure out.. (but not homework..)

Answer 1

Smoke is solid particles suspended in a gas, usually air.

Answer 2

The answer above is correct; smoke is tiny solid particles suspended in a gas.

The technical term for this is "colloid", which means any two phases of mass in suspension together.  For example, Jell-O is a suspension of liquid in a solid, and foam is a suspension of gas in a liquid.

Colloids are not true solutions; the individual components are still distinct.  However, they can be so finely suspended that they will almost never separate on their own - for example, whipped cream.
