Hey friend :-)
Here is your answer:)
A colloid is a substance in which microscopic particles are dispersed in a medium, but are not dissolved in it. If left undisturbed, the dispersed particles will not settle or form sediment. Pumice could be an example of a colloid: particles of air dispersed in solid stone.
A suspension is similar to a colloid except that the dispersed particles tend to be larger and will eventually settle or form sediment. Sand in water could be an example of a suspension: if shaken then the sand will disperse in the water, but if left alone it will settle at the bottom.
Hoping it helps you
