The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is a non-electrolytic colloidal sol, we will analyze the properties of each substance mentioned. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Colloidal Sols**: - Colloidal sols consist of two phases: the dispersed phase (particles) and the dispersion medium (liquid or gas). 2. **Identify the Given Options**: - The options provided are starch, AgCl, arsenic sulfide (As2S3), and antimony sulfide (Sb2S3). 3. **Analyze Each Substance**: - **Starch**: - Starch is a natural polymer and is a covalent compound. It does not dissociate into ions in solution, making it a non-electrolytic colloidal sol. - **AgCl (Silver Chloride)**: - AgCl is a salt that can dissociate into Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ ions, albeit to a very small extent. Since it can produce ions in solution, it is classified as an electrolytic colloid. - **Arsenic Sulfide (As2S3)**: - Arsenic sulfide can dissociate into ions (As³⁺ and S²⁻) in solution, making it an electrolytic colloid. - **Antimony Sulfide (Sb2S3)**: - Similar to arsenic sulfide, antimony sulfide can also dissociate into ions (Sb³⁺ and S²⁻) in solution, categorizing it as an electrolytic colloid. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the options, only starch does not dissociate into ions and is therefore a non-electrolytic colloidal sol. ### Final Answer: The non-electrolytic colloidal sol is **starch**. ---
