Colloid

A mixture in which the particles never settle

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a group of energetic toddlers in one place during a playdate. Just like how these toddlers are constantly moving around and never staying still, in a colloid, the tiny particles are dispersed throughout a substance and never settle at the bottom. The way the toddlers are in constant motion represents the particles in a colloid, which are too small to settle due to gravity, keeping the mixture stable and uniformly mixed, much like how the playdate remains lively and evenly chaotic.
