Colloids are particles smaller than those in a suspension. The basic difference between a colloid and a suspension is the diameter of the particles dispersed. Colloids are generally 1 to 5 nanometers while suspensions are usually 1000 nanometers. Colloids are usually harder to detect / see with the naked eye or microscope for this reason. Gelatin, butter, smoke, and fog are examples. A muddy delta is an example of a suspension.
It is a solution.
Yes, mouthwash is a colloid. It is a liquid mixture containing suspended particles that do not settle out.
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.
The order from smallest particle size to largest particle size is: solution (smallest), colloid, suspension (largest).
In between a solution and a suspension is a colloid. A colloid consists of particles that are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension. Colloids have particles that do not settle out over time and exhibit properties of both solutions and suspensions.
A solution has only one phase.A suspension has two phases.A colloid has two phases but the colloidal particles have dimensions under 1 micrometre.

a Colloid. I learnt about this yesterday :D
