# Wikipedia Solid-state vs Colloidal Chemistry Binary Classification
This binary classification dataset is curated from English Wikipedia articles and focuses on the subfields of chemistry. It is labeled into two distinct classes based on the subject matter of the articles:
- Class 1: **Solid-state Chemistry**, also known as materials chemistry, involves the study of the synthesis, structure, and properties of solid phase materials, particularly, but not necessarily exclusively, of non-molecular solids.
- Class 2: **Colloidal Chemistry** deals with the study of substances microscopically dispersed throughout another substance. The focus is on the behavior and properties of colloids, which are mixtures where one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another.
