Colloidal solutions have uniformly dispersed particles throughout the solution, appearing homogeneous despite being heterogeneous.

The stability of a suspension can be influenced by factors such as particle size, viscosity of the medium, and the presence of stabilizing agents or additives. Agitation or settling may also affect suspension stability.
Examples of suspensions include muddy water, paint, and certain medicines where solid particles are suspended in a liquid medium.
Suspensions are typically formed by dispersing solid particles into a liquid medium. These particles do not dissolve but rather remain dispersed throughout the liquid.
Suspensions differ from solutions and colloids in that their particles are visible to the naked eye due to their larger size.
