A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consisting of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance. Some definitions specify that the particles must be dispersed in a liquid , [ 1 ] while others extend the definition to include substances like aerosols and gels .
Colloidal System: Finely divided particles of any substance with diameter lying within 1-100 nm range dispersed in any medium constitute what is termed a "colloidal system solution". It is a two phase system.
Azoth – initially this referred to a supposed universal solvent but later became another name for Mercury. Bitumen – highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. Blende; Brimstone – sulfur; Flowers of sulfur – formed by distilling sulfur. Caustic potash/caustic wood alkali – potassium hydroxide, formed by adding lime to potash.
In chemistry, a mixture is a material made up of two or more different chemical substances which can be separated by physical method. It is an impure substance made up of 2 or more elements or compounds mechanically mixed together in any proportion. [ 1 ]
In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation. The particles may be visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer, and will eventually settle, although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have not ...

Examples include osmotic pressure, freezing-point depression, and boiling-point elevation. colloid A mixture in which microscopic insoluble particles are suspended within and evenly dispersed throughout another substance, usually a liquid but sometimes inclusive of aerosols and gels. Thus a colloid contains a dispersed phase and a continuous phase.
