suspension particles can be seen through a microscope
Solution
A colloid is a substance that has tiny particles that do not settle. These particles are large enough to reflect light, therefore the substance's color is shown. An example may be milk because the milk's particles can not be seen individually, but all of them make up a color.
Yes, stirring an electrolyte into a colloid can stabilize the colloid by causing the charged particles in the electrolyte to neutralize the charges on the colloid particles. This reduces the repulsion between the colloid particles and prevents them from aggregating or coagulating.
Colloid particles are smaller than suspensions particles.
A homogeneous mixture where particles are suspended is known as a colloid. In a colloid, the particles are not fully dissolved but are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, giving it a uniform appearance. Examples of colloids include milk, fog, and gelatin.
No, ketchup is not a solution because in a solution you can't see the particles but in ketchup if you look with a microscope you can see the particles. Making ketchup a colloid!
Solution
Solutions are mixtures on an atomic or molecular level; the mixture is so fine grained that you could never see it with a microscope. All you would see is a homogeneous substance. Colloidal suspensions contain tiny particles that you might be unable to see with the unaided eye, but which you could see with a microscope.
To see particles, such as individual cells or microorganisms, you would typically need a light microscope. However, to see smaller particles like viruses or nanoparticles, you would need an electron microscope.

Yes, I think

Colloid particles are smaller than suspensions particles.
Brownian motion of particles in a colloid is caused by random collisions with solvent molecules. These collisions result in erratic movement of the particles within the colloid due to thermal energy. Brownian motion helps to keep the particles suspended and well dispersed within the colloid.
Suspension has particles, same as colloids. However, the particles in a suspension do not settle down but if is no so for the colloid.

One difference is the size of particles: in a solution, particles are uniformly dispersed at a molecular level, whereas in a colloid, particles are larger and dispersed throughout the mixture but do not settle out.
