Why lyophilic colloidal sols are more stable than lyophobic colloidal sols ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Lyophilic and Lyophobic Colloids:** - Lyophilic colloids are those that have an affinity for the dispersion medium (usually a liquid). They are often referred to as "liquid-loving" colloids. - Lyophobic colloids, on the other hand, have little to no affinity for the dispersion medium and are termed "liquid-hating" colloids. 2. **Solvation of Lyophilic Colloids:** - When lyophilic colloids are formed, their particles interact favorably with the solvent molecules. This interaction leads to a process called solvation, where solvent molecules surround and stabilize the colloidal particles. ...
