One difference is the size of particles: in a solution, particles are uniformly dispersed at a molecular level, whereas in a colloid, particles are larger and dispersed throughout the mixture but do not settle out.
A lyophillic solution is a type of colloidal solution where the dispersed particles are strongly solvated; in this case the solution is more stable.
Graphite colloidal solution typically consists of dispersed graphite particles in a solvent such as water or an organic solvent. The graphite particles are generally in the nanometer size range and can be stabilized using surfactants or polymers to prevent aggregation.
A colloidal suspension typically does not settle out overnight. Colloids are made up of particles that are intermediate in size between those in a solution and those in a suspension. This allows the particles to remain dispersed evenly throughout the solution for an extended period of time.
Particles in a solution are typically the solute and the solvent. The solute is the substance that is dissolved, while the solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved. These particles are dispersed uniformly throughout the solution.
equilibrium
Suspension is not a true solution because it consists of insoluble particles dispersed in a liquid medium. In a true solution, solute particles are molecularly dispersed and do not settle out over time.
The order from smallest particle size to largest particle size is: solution (smallest), colloid, suspension (largest).
A lyophillic solution is a type of colloidal solution where the dispersed particles are strongly solvated; in this case the solution is more stable.

A colloid is a solution where the particles inside it are between 1 and 1000 nanometers in diameter. The particles inside the solution are evenly dispersed throughout the solution and do not precipitate out.
Colloidal solutions are called heterogeneous because they consist of two or more distinct phases: the dispersed phase (colloidal particles) and the dispersion medium (continuous phase). These two phases have different properties and compositions, leading to a non-uniform distribution of particles throughout the medium.
Particles in a solution are typically the solute and the solvent. The solute is the substance that is dissolved, while the solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved. These particles are dispersed uniformly throughout the solution.
Colloids contain particles that are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension. Suspensions have particles that are large enough to settle out over time, unlike solutions where particles are uniformly dispersed and do not settle. Solutions have the smallest particle size and the particles do not settle or scatter light.
solution
In between a solution and a suspension is a colloid. A colloid consists of particles that are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension. Colloids have particles that do not settle out over time and exhibit properties of both solutions and suspensions.
A solute is considered dissolved when its particles are evenly dispersed and dispersed in a solvent, creating a homogenous mixture. This is confirmed when the solute particles can no longer be seen and the solution appears clear or transparent.
