Is the router a collision domain?
Its a multiple broadcast domain, but is the router also a collision domain?

No, the router itself doesn't have a collision domain. A router only creates multiple broadcast domains.

As Binary Freak said routers break up broadcast domains and swicthes break up collision domains. Remember, by default, routers don't forward broadcasts.A+, N+, S+, CCNA:RS, CCNA:Sec

I'm pretty sure each port on a router is also its own collision domain. Typically though in tests, routers are used to separate broadcast domains and switches create more collision domains. -

Routers separate both Collision and Broadcast Domains by default, Switches separate collision domains by default, with vlans also separating broadcasts.
