A Suspension is a mixture in which particles of a material are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas, a Colloid is a mixture in which the particles are dispersed throughout but are not heavy enough to settle out, and a solution is a uniform mixture that contains a solvent and at least one solute.
Colloidal particles are between 1 nm and 1 000 nm.Suspension have particles greater than 1 000 nm.True solutions haven't particles undissolved.
The Tyndall test confirms the presence of colloids in a solution by detecting the scattering of light. It is a qualitative test used to differentiate between solutions containing colloids and solutions containing only dissolved particles.
If a mixture settles over time and separates it is a suspension (milk with chocolate added). If a mixture does not separate overtime but forms lumpy or fluffy masses (like cottage cheese) it is a colloid. If a mixture does not separate or form lumpy masses it is a solution. Suspensions separate, colloids form lumps and may look 'cloud-like' and solutions remain the same.
Colloids have particles that are intermediate in size between solutions and suspensions and do not settle out over time like suspensions. In a solution, the solute particles are evenly distributed and do not settle out, whereas in a suspension, the solute particles are larger and settle out over time.
A colloidal suspension typically does not settle out overnight. Colloids are made up of particles that are intermediate in size between those in a solution and those in a suspension. This allows the particles to remain dispersed evenly throughout the solution for an extended period of time.
colloids are intermixing of two sol.
Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which insoluble solid particles are dispersed in a liquid. Colloids are homogeneous mixtures where particles are intermediate in size between those in a solution and a suspension, and do not settle out. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where substances are completely dissolved in a solvent.
Colloidal particles are between 1 nm and 1 000 nm.Suspension have particles greater than 1 000 nm.True solutions haven't particles undissolved.
solutions is a mixture that is dissolved and so is a colloid which is suspened in a liquid.
The tyndall effect is a result of scattering from colloids that are around the wavelength of light, this is why milk does not appear blue.
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.

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.
The Tyndall effect is specific for colloids, not for solutions.
Colloids and suspensions are both heterogeneous mixtures where particles are dispersed within a medium. However, colloids have smaller particles that do not settle out over time due to Brownian motion, while suspensions have larger particles that settle out due to gravity. Both colloids and suspensions can scatter light, making their solutions appear cloudy or opaque.
