Answer:

Constituent substances of a colloid cannot be separated by ordinary filtration because the size of the particles in a colloid (or colloidal solution) is bigger than those in a true solution but smaller than those in suspension. It is between 1 nm to 100 nm in diameter.

ex- cheese, milk, aerosol spray, mayonnaise
