Define Suspensions.
Suspensions have bits that are sometimes dispersed in a liquid like water.
They look like they have dissolved because the mixture is moving, however once they “settle” the bits become visible again.
Define Colloid.
In a colloid the bits are extremely small, and will not settle do to gravity but can be separated by other methods
