The size of the particles is the main factor that distinguishes a suspension from a colloid. In a suspension, the particles are larger and can be seen with the naked eye, while in a colloid, the particles are smaller and do not settle out over time.
Suspension consists of the largest particles among colloid, homogeneous mixture, solution. Suspensions contain particles that are visible to the naked eye and typically settle over time.

This is the heterogeneous mixture where particles are large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
This is most likely describing suspension particles, which are larger than those in colloids and solutions. These particles can be seen with the naked eye and will eventually settle due to gravity if left undisturbed. An example of a suspension is a mixture of sand and water.

A suspension is a mixture with small undissolved particles that do not settle out. These particles are typically visible to the naked eye and can be separated from the liquid by filtration. Examples include muddy water and Italian salad dressing.
Particles cannot be filtered from colloids. A colloid is distinguished from a solution and a suspension by the particles because they usually have an electric charge, and they repel each other, so they do not collect into larger particles that would settle out like those in solutions, and suspensions.

A mixture that scatters light passing through it is called a colloid. Colloids consist of particles that are larger than molecules but smaller than particles you can see with the naked eye, leading to the scattering of light.
This is the heterogeneous mixture where particles are large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
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.
No, a suspension is not a pure substance. It is a mixture of particles dispersed in a liquid, where the particles are not fully dissolved and can be seen with the naked eye.
This is most likely describing suspension particles, which are larger than those in colloids and solutions. These particles can be seen with the naked eye and will eventually settle due to gravity if left undisturbed. An example of a suspension is a mixture of sand and water.
Smoke is considered a colloid because it consists of small solid particles suspended in a gas (air). These solid particles are dispersed throughout the gas, creating a mixture that exhibits the properties of a colloid, such as being able to scatter light.
A heterogeneous mixture where particles are large enough to be seen with the naked eye is a suspension. An example of this is settled mud in water.
