Answer: Particles in a suspension are usually more than 1,000 nm, while those in a colloid range from 1-1,000 nm. Unlike those in a suspension, particles in a colloid do not separate when sitting still. ... Particles in a suspension can be seen by the naked eye, but those in a colloid must be viewed using a light microscope.

hope this helps:)
