If the solid is soluble (can dissolve) then it will dissolve in the liquid and give you a solution.
solid liquid
The particles become more energetic, speed up, and spread out more.
Mud is a solid not a liquid if you wanted to know :]
Liquid to solid is a phase change.
A solid and a liquid can form a solution, a suspension, the can chemically react, etc.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS:- the solid is dissolved or- the solid is insoluble or- the solid react with the solution
Because clay is a solid and water is a liquid

General classes of colloids are: gas in liquid, gas in solid, liquid in gas, liquid in liquid, liquid in solid, solid in gas, solid in liquid, solid in solid.
If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it floats on top. If it is of relatively equal density as the liquid it forms a colloid in which the solid and the liquid solvent are still distinct and separate, but fairly equally distributed . If it is more dense than the liquid, it precipitates out, to the bottom of the liquid. ChaosRu
