Best Answer

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.

How can you tell the difference between suspension colloid or 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.
