What is the main cause of charge on a colloidal solution?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The charge on the colloidal particles is due to the adsorption of common ions of the electrolyte on the surface of the colloidal particles, e.g., `Fe^(3+)` from `FeCl_(3)` on the surface of `Fe(OH)_(3)` particles.
