A colloid is a mixture in which one substance is divided into minute particles (called colloidal particles) and dispersed throughout a second substance. The mixture they form is called a colloidal dispersion. A colloidal dispersion consists of colloids in a dispersing medium. It doesn't have to be liquid.
It is a substance with low solubility or insoluble.
There is no new substance; it is just mixed up and all the atoms are spread out so you can't see the individual particles.
1 mole of representative particles of a substance is a very large number. It represents 6.02294x1023 particles.
In general, yes; the same amount of mass will probably dissolve more slowly if divided into a few large particles than into many small particles. This is because dissolution takes place at the surface, and small particles have a higher surface area to volume ratio than large particles (assuming the particles are the same shape).
Mixtures in which some of the particles settle out are called suspensions. An example of a mixture is dirt mixed with a large amount of water. On the other hand, mixtures in which the particles do not settle out are called colloids.
The ability is hydrogen bonds, which form on the fly more easily than covalent or ionic bonds. Other chemicals that readily create hydrogen bonds are gases at room temperature, ammonia and hydrogen fluoride, or are unstable, hydrazine. Water is the only inorganic (not carbon based) liquid solvent that occurs naturally in large quantity. Hydrogen bonding also holds the double strands of DNA together.
The "solute" is the substance you are trying to dissolve. The solvent is the substance you are trying to dissolve it in.

One with a large surface area because the solvent will be able to dissolve more solute simultaneously.
There is no new substance; it is just mixed up and all the atoms are spread out so you can't see the individual particles.

The smaller the particles, the more quickly and easily they dissolve. A powdered solute will dissolve faster than a large piece of the same solute.

Water is a polar substance, which means that any other polar substances will dissolve in it. The opposite is mineral turpentine which is non-polar so all non-polar substances dissolve in it.
