### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Lyophilic and Lyophobic Colloids**: - **Lyophilic Colloids**: These are colloidal systems that have a strong affinity for the dispersion medium (usually a liquid). They are often referred to as "liquid-loving" colloids. Examples include gelatin, starch, and proteins. - **Lyophobic Colloids**: These colloids have little to no affinity for the dispersion medium and are termed "liquid-hating" colloids. Examples include metals like gold and silver when dispersed in water. 2. **Solvation of Lyophilic Colloids**: - Lyophilic colloids are highly solvated due to their affinity for the solvent. This means that the particles of the colloid interact strongly with the solvent molecules, leading to the formation of a protective layer around the colloidal particles. ...
