The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding why the values of colligative properties of colloidal solutions are of smaller order compared to those of true solutions of the same concentration, we can analyze the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Colligative Properties**: - Colligative properties depend on the number of solute particles in a solution, not their identity. This includes properties like boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure. 2. **Comparing Particle Size**: - True solutions consist of solute particles that are typically less than 1 nanometer in size, while colloidal particles range from 1 nanometer to 1000 nanometers. This larger size of colloidal particles means they occupy more space. 3. **Number of Particles**: - Since colligative properties are dependent on the number of particles, the larger size of colloidal particles means that there are fewer of them in a given volume compared to the smaller particles in a true solution. This results in a lower effect on colligative properties. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **(a) Exhibit enormous surface area**: This is incorrect. While colloidal particles do have a surface area, the larger size means that the effective number of particles is lower, which does not contribute to an increase in colligative properties. - **(b) Remain suspended in the dispersion medium**: This is misleading. Colloidal particles are indeed suspended, but this does not directly relate to the colligative properties being smaller. - **(c) Form lyophilic colloids**: This is incorrect as the type of colloid formed does not inherently affect the colligative properties in the context of size and number. - **(d) Are comparatively less in number**: This is the correct answer. The larger size of colloidal particles means there are fewer particles in a given volume compared to true solutions, leading to smaller colligative property values. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **(d) are comparatively less in number**. This is the primary reason why the colligative properties of colloidal solutions are of a smaller order compared to those of true solutions.

The colloidal particles are electrically charged as a indicated by their migration towards cathode or anode under the applied electric field. In a particular colloidal system, all particles carry either positive charge or negative charge. The electric charge on colloidal particles orginate in several ways. According to preferential adsorption theory, the freshly obtained precipitate particles adsorb ions from the dispersion medium, which are common to their lattice and acquire the charge of adsorbed ions. For example, For example, freshly obtained Fe(OH)_(3) precipitated is dispersed, by a little FeCl_(3) , into colloidal solution owing to the adsorption of Fe^(3+) ions in preference. Thus sol particles will be positively charged. In some cases the colloidal particles are aggregates of cations or anions having ampiphilic character. When the ions posses hydrophobic part (hydrocarbon end) as well as hydrophilic part (polar end group), they undergo association in aqueous solution to form particles having colloidal size. The formation of such particles, called micelles plays a very important role in the solubilization of water insoluble substances, (hydrocarbon, oils, fats, grease etc.). In micelles, the polar end groups are directed towards water and the hydrocarbon ends into the centre. The charge on sol particles of proteins depends on the pH. At low pH, the basic group of protein molecule is ionized (protonated) and at higher pH (alkaline medium), the acidic group is ionized. At isoelectric pH, characteristic to the protein, both basix and acidic groups are equally ionized. The stability of colloidal solution is attributed largely to the electric charge of the dispersed particles. This charge causes them to be coagulated or precipitated. On addition of small amount of electrolytes, the ions carrying oppiste charge are adsorbed by sol particles resulting in the neutralization of their charge. When the sol particles either with no charge or reduced charge, come closer due to Brownian movement, they coalesce to form bigger particles resulting in their separation from the dispersion medium. This is what is called coagulating or precipitation of the colloidal solution. The coagulating power of the effective ion, which depend on its charge, is expressed in terms of its coagulating value, defined as its minimum concentration (m mol/L) needed to precipitate a given sol. Under the influence of an electric field, the particles in a sol migrate towards cathode. The coagulation of the same sol is studied using NaCl, Na_(2)SO_(4) and Na_(3)PO_(4) solutions. Their coagulating values will be in the order :
