a colloid
There are three main types of solutions formed with solids in liquids: true solutions, colloidal solutions, and suspensions. True solutions have solute particles that are very small and uniformly distributed, giving a clear and homogeneous mixture. Colloidal solutions have larger solute particles that are dispersed throughout the solvent, giving a cloudy or translucent appearance. Suspensions have even larger solute particles that settle out over time, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture.
The scientific term for a colloid is a substance that consists of particles dispersed throughout another substance. These particles are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension.
Chemical suspension refers to a heterogeneous mixture in which particles of a solid substance are dispersed in a liquid. These particles are larger than those found in a solution but smaller than those in a colloid. The suspended particles do not dissolve in the liquid and may settle out over time.
Lotion is a type of colloid mixture, where one substance (such as oil) is finely dispersed in another substance (such as water). Colloids have particles that are larger than atoms or molecules but smaller than those in a suspension.
In colloids, the dispersed substance is not dissolved, but exists in small microscopic packets usually homogeneously dispersed through the medium. A fog, which is small water droplets suspended and evenly dispersed in air, is a colloid A solution contains a solute dissolved in a solvent, in which each individual molecule is discretely separate from all others in a solvent. The solute will usually ionise to multiple constituent parts. e.g. NaCl in water forming Na+ and Cl-. The solvent may also coordinate around the solute, bonding to it via van der Waals forces.
Both solutions and suspensions are mixtures of two or more components. However, the particles in suspension are larger and will eventually settle out, where the particles in a solution are on the atomic or molecular level.
Particles in solutions are evenly distributed and small enough to not settle out or be filtered out easily. In contrast, particles in suspension are larger and will settle out over time or with filtration. Solutions are typically clear, while suspensions may appear cloudy or opaque due to the presence of suspended particles.
True solutions do not exhibit Brownian motion. Brownian motion is a phenomenon observed in colloidal solutions, where the particles are much larger than molecules in true solutions. In true solutions, the solute particles are uniformly dispersed at the molecular level and do not exhibit the random movement seen in colloidal solutions.
Colloids contain particles that are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension. Suspensions have particles that are large enough to settle out over time, unlike solutions where particles are uniformly dispersed and do not settle. Solutions have the smallest particle size and the particles do not settle or scatter light.

The opposite of a colloid is a solution. In a colloid, particles are dispersed throughout a medium but are not dissolved, whereas in a solution, particles are completely dissolved and evenly distributed in the solvent. Colloids have larger particles that do not settle out, while solutions have particles that are molecular or ionic in size and do not separate out.
You will be able to distinguishes suspensions form colloids and solutions because the suspensions components will separated. If a beam of light passing through a solution is not visible it is a Colloid.
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.
colloid is one of the three primary types of mixtures, with the other two being a solution and suspension. A colloid is a solution that has particles ranging between 1 and 1000 nanometers in diameter, yet are still able to remain evenly distributed throughout the solution. These are also known as colloidal dispersions because the substances remain dispersed and do not settle to the bottom of the container. In colloids, one substance is evenly dispersed in another. The substance being dispersed is referred to as being in the dispersed phase, while the substance in which it is dispersed is in the continuous phase.Properties of ColloidsIn order to be classified as a colloid, the substance in the dispersed phase must be larger than the size of a molecule but smaller than what can be seen with the naked eye. This can be more precisely quantified as one or more of the substance's dimensions must be between 1 and 1000 nanometers. If the dimensions are smaller than this the substance is considered a solution and if they are larger than the substance is a suspension. A common method of classifying colloids is based on the phase of the dispersed substance and what phase it is dispersed in. The types of colloids includes sol, emulsion, foam, and aerosol.Sol is a colloidal suspension with solid particles in a liquid.Emulsion is between two liquids.Foam is formed when many gas particles are trapped in a liquid or solid.Aerosol contains small particles of liquid or solid dispersed in a gas.When the dispersion medium is water, the colloidal system is often referred to as a hydrocolloid. The particles in the dispersed phase can take place in different phases depending on how much water is available. For example, Jello powder mixed in with water creates a hydrocolloid. A common use for hydrocolloids is in the creation of medical dressings.
Chemical suspension refers to a heterogeneous mixture in which particles of a solid substance are dispersed in a liquid. These particles are larger than those found in a solution but smaller than those in a colloid. The suspended particles do not dissolve in the liquid and may settle out over time.
Lotion is a type of colloid mixture, where one substance (such as oil) is finely dispersed in another substance (such as water). Colloids have particles that are larger than atoms or molecules but smaller than those in a suspension.
