Choose the correct reason(s) for the stability of the lyophobic colloidal particles.

Options

A. Preferential adsorption of ions from the solution
B. Preferential adsorption of solvent on their surface from the solution
C. Attraction between different particles having opposite charges on their surface
D. Potential difference between the fixed layer and the diffused layer of opposite charges around the colloidal particle

Explanation

To determine the correct reasons for the stability of lyophobic colloidal particles, we need to analyze the properties and behavior of these colloids. Here’s a step-by-step solution:

### Step 1: Understand Lyophobic Colloids
Lyophobic colloids are colloidal systems that do not have a strong affinity for the dispersing medium (usually a liquid). They are characterized by weak forces of attraction between the dispersed particles and the medium.

**Hint:** Recall that "lyophobic" means "afraid of liquid," indicating that these colloids do not mix well with the solvent.
