Is Matter Around Us Pure?

Question:

What is difference between colloids and suspensions ?

Answer:


A colloid is a kind of solution in which the size of solute particles is intermediate between those in true solutions and those in suspensions.
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the small particles of a solid are spread throughout a liquid without dissolving in it.
