What is the difference between multi-molecular and macromolecular colloids? Give one exarnple of each.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Multimolecular colloidals are formed by the aggregation of small molecules (diameter `lt1nm`) while macromolecular colloids are formed by macromolecules (polymers) and consist of single molecules.
b. Multimolecular colloids are generally lyophobic whereas macromolecular colloids are generally lyophilic.
