### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Lyophobic Colloids**: - Lyophobic colloids are colloidal systems that do not have a strong affinity for the dispersion medium. This means that when lyophobic substances are mixed with a liquid (the dispersion medium), they do not easily form a stable colloidal solution. 2. **Characteristics of Lyophobic Colloids**: - These colloids are typically formed from substances like metals and their sulfides. - They tend to be unstable and can easily precipitate out of the solution if disturbed or if the conditions change (like temperature or pH). ...
