Solution

Solution
1)A solution is always transparent and light passes through with no scattering from solute particles.
2) The solution is homogeneous and does not settle out. A solution cannot be filtered but can be separated using the process of distillation.
Suspension
1) A suspension is cloudy and heterogeneous.
ā€‹2)The particles are larger than 10,000 Angstroms which allows them to be filtered. If a suspension is allowed to stand the particles will separate out.
Colloid
1) A colloid is cloudy but uniform and homogenous.
2)Colloids show Tyndall effect. Light passing through a colloidal dispersion, such as smoky or foggy air, will be reflected by the larger particles and the light beam will be visible.
