  "term": "Colloidal suspension",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A heterogeneous mixture where one substance, consisting of very fine particles, is dispersed uniformly throughout another substance without settling out. In meteorology, clouds are a prime example, consisting of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in air. The particles in a colloidal suspension are larger than molecules but too small to be seen individually with the naked eye.",
