A Colloid is a type of mechanical mixture in which extremely small particles of on or more substances are evenly and stably distributed in one or more others.

A Suspension is a mechanical mixture consisting of a liquid or gas with small particles that are distributed through it, but that separate out if the suspension is left undisturbed

What is one difference between a colloid and solution?

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.

What is the opposite of a colloid?

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.


A colliod has smaller particles than a solution?

No, a solution has much smaller particles than a colloid. In a solution the particles are individual atoms, molecules, or ions.
