### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Colloidal Sols**: A colloidal sol is a mixture where very small particles (colloids) are dispersed throughout a medium (liquid or gas). These particles are larger than molecules but smaller than visible particles. 2. **Charge on Colloidal Particles**: Colloidal particles typically carry an electric charge. This charge can be positive or negative, but in a stable colloidal sol, all particles carry the same type of charge. 3. **Repulsion Between Particles**: Because all the colloidal particles carry the same charge, they experience electrostatic repulsion. Like charges repel each other, which prevents the particles from coming too close together. ...

In a colloidal state, the particle size of he dispersed phase ranges between 10^(3) to 10^(6) pm and the colloidal sol is of heterogeneous nature. Depending upon the ease with which these sols are formed, the colloidal sols are cassified as lyophilic and lyophobic. THe stability of a colloidal sol is due to the presence of charge on the sol particles and the neutralisation of the same is known as coagulation or precipitation. The coagulationg power of the active ions of he electrolytes can be compared with the help of Hardy-Schulze Law. The protecting power of the lyophilic sols can be compared with the help of gold number. Lesser the value of gold number, more will be the protecting power of the lyophilic sol. Lyophilic sols are more stable than lyophobic sols because

Why are lypolhilic colloids more stable than hybrobic colloids ?

Why is Cu^(+) ion not stable in aqueous solution ? or Why is Cu^(+) is not known in aqueous solution ?

Read the given passage and answer the question that follow: Colloidal particles always carry an electric charge which may be either positive or negative. For example, when AgNO_3 solution is added to KI solution, a negatively charged colloidal sol is obtained. The presence of equal and similar charges on colloidal particles provide stability to the colloidal sol and if, somehow, charge is removed. coagulation of sol occurs. Lyophobic sols are readily coagulated as compared to lyophilic sols. Why a negatively charged sol is obtained on adding AgNO_3 solution to Kl solution?
