The traditional test is that a suspension scatters at least some of any light that passes through the suspension, while a solution does not.
The easiest way to tell the difference is by observing weather the particle of the solid are clumping at the bottom (suspension) or dispersed evenly throughout the liquid (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.
Is it clear or cloudy.
observe that the particles in a solution are uniformly distributed and do not settle over time, while the particles in a suspension settle out and form a distinct layer.
A solution is produced by dissolving a solid in a liquid and when completely dissolved there are no particles to be seen; just a transparent liquid (not if you put milk in your tea). A suspension is created when the tiny particles of a substance which is not dissolvable are stirred into a liquid. You can still tell that the particles are still there, and the liquid is not transparent. Think about the particles of cocoa powder stirred into hot water (without milk). You can find some of the powder left when you have drunk up.
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

If the mixture is completely homogeneous, then the mixture is true solution as in thesolution the solute particles are completely dissolved and have uniform composition.These are transparent.A colloid is a type of mixture in which one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another. These are mostly translucent, for example:-milk.A suspension is most easy to identify since the solute particles do not dissolve in the solution. They either keep floating in the solution or settle down at the bottom.
how can you tell the difference between a tortoise and a turtle by shell in picture
Can you tell the difference between Vyvanse and Concerta in a drug test
As near as I can tell, the se has an automatic trans, power windows, heaver suspension, speed control, wheel covers and power mirrors. I could be wrong.
Freezing it: If upon freezing, a solution forms a homogeneous solid, it is a solution. If it separates into distinct phases, it is a suspension. Evaporating off the liquid: If after evaporating the liquid, only solid components remain, it is a solution. If there are solid particles left behind, it is a suspension. Stirring it: If the mixture remains visibly the same after stirring, it is likely a solution. If visible particles settle out, it is a suspension. Letting the mixture stand for a while: If the components do not settle out upon standing, it is likely a solution. If visible particles settle to the bottom, it is a suspension.
