No, it is not. It completely dissolves. If you want to check if a mixture is a colloid shine a beam of light through it. (A flashlight should work, although a laser pointer is best. If you're having trouble getting a thinnish beam with your flashlight take a piece of cardboard or some other opaque material and cut a hole in it. Then shine the flashlight through that.) If you can see the beam of light the mixture is a colloid. Pure water, for example, is not a colloid. I have found that flour and water makes a very nice colloid. Smoke, fog/mist, clouds and honey are some naturally occurring colloids.

Solute. The water it is dissolved in is the solvent.
