Properties of. Colloid
1) A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture.
2) The size of particles of a colloid is too small to be individually seen by naked eyes
3) Colloids are big enough to scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible
4) They do not settle down when left undisturbed

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
properties of colloid: 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.
