anonymous · Answer

No I can't see anything that's why I'm not understanding the question 😕

rvc · Answer

wait which has larger size of particles?

rvc · Answer

Suspension has larger particle than colloid.

anonymous · Answer

Is the answer 
soil and water is a suspension because it consists of larger particles suspended in the medium, which start to settle when allowed to stand. Milk is a colloid because it consists of minute particles that remain suspended in the medium.
