Verified by Experts

Difference between associated colloids and multimolecular and macromolecular colloids. Multimolecular formed by the aggregation of a large number of simple molecules (e.g., `S_(S)`), macromolecular colloids are due to large size of the molecules themselves (e.g., strach), so large that their size lies in the colloidal range. However, associateds colloids are formed by electrolytes so that they dissociate into ions and these ions associate together to form ionic micelles whose size lies in the colloidal range, e.g.,, soaps. This happens above a particular concentration (called critical micellization concentration) and above a particular temperature called Kraft temperature.
