Is Matter Around Us Pure

Short Answer Type

Explain why particles of a colloidal solution do not settle down when left undisturbed, while in the case of a suspension they do.

Particle size in a suspension is larger than those in a colloidal solution. Also molecular interaction in a suspension is not strong enough to keep the particles suspended and hence they settle down.
