Generally electrolytes' ions bind to the surface and damage the double electrostatic layer of colloidal particles. This greatly reduces stability of a colloidal system, since electrostatic repulsion is the main force keeping those colloidal particles apart.
One of the most important properties of colloidal solutions is that colloidal particles posses a definite type of electrical charge. In a particular colloidal solution, all the colloidal particles carry the same type of charge, while the dispersion medium has an equal but opposite charge. Thus, the charge on colloidal particles is balanced by that of the dispersion medium and the colloidal solution as a whole is electrically neutral.
Sol state is a liquid state .The colloidal particles repel each other. Gel state is more jellylike. The colloidal particles attract each other. emulsion are colloidal system in which both dispersed phase and dispersed medium are in liquid state .
Colloids are dispersed particles with a diameter of 1-1000 nm.
Colloids have moderately sized particles. (small enough to stay in suspension)

Dispersed particles

In a particular colloidal solution, all the colloidal particles carry the same type of charge, while the dispersion medium has an equal but opposite charge. Thus, the charge on colloidal particles is balanced by that of the dispersion medium and the colloidal solution as a whole is electrically neutral.
the colloidal particle show tyndal effect while suspended particles donot. Colloidal particles donot settle down but the suspended particles get settledown.
A colloidal mixture contain particles with dimension under 1 000 nm.
When particles are suspended in a viscous (thick) mixture. Lots of oatmeal based lotions are colloidal.
A dispersed colloidal particle can absorb electrically charged particles (either positive or negative) on its surface. Colloidal particles of a given kind will all have the same electric charge. Because of this , the dispersed colloidal particles repel each other.
dispersed phase
If you are referring to any metal particles suspended in water I believe the term you are looking for is Colloidal. For example.... Colloidal Silver is silver particles suspended in water.
Colloidal gold turns to red due to the red blood cells of the gold particles.
