An easily made example of a colloid is corn starch and water. A naturally occuring example of a colloid is quicksand. Both of these things will resist sudden impacts without taking a dent. An object placed on either one, however, will slowly become engulfed.

A real-world application of colloids is the use of packets of finely grained sand and glycerin sewn into body armor; during the impact of a bullet, the colloid instantly becomes rigid and spreads the force-load, then returns to its original semi-solid state.

What are non examples of colloids?

Examples of non-colloids include solutions like salt dissolved in water, where the solute particles are too small to be visible, and suspensions like sand in water, where the particles settle out over time due to gravity. Both solutions and suspensions differ from colloids because they do not have the same uniform dispersion of particles as colloids do.
