Colloidal dispersion

A colloidal dispersion is made when particles bigger than other particles in other solutions but smaller than particles in suspensions are put into a matter. The particles are normally 1 to 1000 nanometers in size and they are either very big molecules, smaller atoms together, or ions. A colloidal dispersion will not stop, and if light is flashed at it, it will be easily seen, which is due to the Tyndall effect.
