a colloid contains larger particles than a solution. the particles are still too small to be seen easily, but are large enough to scatter a light beam

How can you tell the difference between suspension colloid or solution?
Use the Tyndall Effect shine a light through it. If the light is scattered then it is colloidal. Both colloids and suspensions are heterogeneous. A solution will not show the beam through it's substance but the colloid will. The particles in the suspension will eventually settle at the bottom, showing that it is NOT a solution.
How can you tell the difference between a solution and a clear colloid?
Solutions are mixtures on an atomic or molecular level; the mixture is so fine grained that you could never see it with a microscope. All you would see is a homogeneous substance. Colloidal suspensions contain tiny particles that you might be unable to see with the unaided eye, but which you could see with a microscope.
How you can tell the difference between an acid and an alkali?
The pH of an acidic solution is under 7; the solution contain cations H+. The pH of an alkaline solution is above 7; the solution contain anions OH-.
How do you tell the difference between a solution and a suspension?
The traditional test is that a suspension scatters at least some of any light that passes through the suspension, while a solution does not.

How can you tell wheather a mixture and water is a souluton or colloid?
A colloid is frequently opalescent and has more than one phase; the dimension of particles is in the range 1 nm-1μm.A true solution has only one phase and is clear.
How can you tell the difference between an acid and an alkali?
If the solution turns a shade of red, orange or yellow it is an acid. If the solution turns a shade of purple or blue it is an alkaline. if it goes pink the world ends

Describe how you can tell the difference between an unsaturated solution and a saturated solution?
The easiest way to determine if the solution is saturated or not is not really very 'scientific.' Remove a sample and, drop a bit of the solute into it. If the additional solute dissolves, the solution is not saturated. If it does not, the solution is saturated.
