1. colloidal suspension

   A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consisting of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance. Some definitions specify that the particles must be dispersed in a liquid, while others extend the definition to include substances like aerosols and gels. The term colloidal suspension refers unambiguously to the overall mixture (although a narrower sense of the word suspension is distinguished from colloids by larger particle size). A colloid has a dispersed phase (the suspended particles) and a continuous phase (the medium of suspension). The dispersed phase particles have a diameter of approximately 1 nanometre to 1 micrometre.Some colloids are translucent because of the Tyndall effect, which is the scattering of light by particles in the colloid. Other colloids may be opaque or have a slight color. Colloidal suspensions are the subject of interface and colloid science. This field of study was introduced in 1845 by Italian chemist Francesco Selmi and further investigated since 1861 by Scottish scientist Thomas Graham.

1. colloidal suspension

   A colloidal suspension is a type of heterogeneous mixture where tiny particles, ranging from 1 to 1,000 nanometers, are dispersed throughout another substance while not getting dissolved in it. These particles are known as colloids and can be solid, liquid, or even gaseous. The substance in which these colloids are suspended is known as the dispersion medium, which can also be solid, liquid, or gas. The particles in a colloidal suspension are too small to be seen with the naked eye but are big enough to scatter light, a characteristic called the Tyndall effect.
