The particle size in colloids (also called colloidal despersions or suspensions) range from one nanometer to one micrometer.

These are very much larger than the ions or molecules in a solution (so the first is false).

Correction:
A colloid has some particles that are larger than those in a solution.

Typical magnification of a light microscope is up to 1500x with a theoretical resolution of around 0.2 micrometres. Electron microscopes allow even smaller particles to be seen (so the second is false also).

Correction:
Some of the particles in a suspension are large enough to be seen through a microscope.
