In IUPAC definition, colloid is a short synonym for colloidal system,
and colloidal is a state of subdivision such that the molecules or
polymolecular particles dispersed in a medium have at least one dimension
between approximately 1 nm and 1 μm, or that in a system discontinuities are
found at distances of that order.

Colloid Characteristics:
1.Tyndall effect,
Tyndall effect is used commercially to determine the size
and density of particles in aerosols and
other colloidal matter

2.Adsorbtion
Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from
a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface

3. Brownian Motion
Brownian motionis the random motion of particles suspended
in a fluid (aliquid or
a gas)
resulting from their collision with the quick atoms or molecules in
the gas or liquid. It makes the colloid cannot gravitate.

4.Coagulation
Coagulation is a process which involves coming together of
colloidal particles so as to change into large sized particles which ultimately
settle as a precipitate or float on the surface.

fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric
field

6. Dialysis
Dialysis is the separation of colloids from
dissolved ions or molecules of small dimensions, orcrystalloid, in a solution.
