Why do particles of suspension settle down when left undisturbed whereas particles of cooloids do not?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Colloidal solution or colloidal state or colloidal dispersion, represent an intermediate kind of a mixture between true solution and suspension.
The size of a colloidal particle lies roughly between 1-100 nm. Colloids are also a two-phase heterogeneous system consisting of the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.
However, colloidal particles present in a small amount as the dispersed phase component behave like a solute in a solution when suspended in a solvent phase or dispersing medium, because of their small size.  
 
 
Suspensions consist of particles of a solid suspended in a liquid medium.
Suspensions are systems with two distinct phases.
The particles in suspensions are bigger than 100 nm to 200 nm across.
The particles of a suspension may not be visible to the naked eye but are visible under a microscope. Suspensions are heterogeneous systems.
They stay only for a limited period i.e. these are not stable as the particles have a tendency to settle down under the influence of gravity.
The particles of a suspension can neither pass through ordinary filter paper nor through animal membranes.
Examples of suspensions are sodium chloride in benzene, turmeric in water, silver chloride, barium sulphate or sand in water.
