CLASSIFICATION OF COLLOIDS (LYOPHILIC COLLOIDS AND LYOPHOBIC COLLOIDS)

Explanation

Classification Of Colloids (Lyophilic Colloids And Lyophobic Colloids)

Colloids have a few unique approaches for its classification. Here we will figure out how colloids are characterized on the basis of their physical state, chemical interaction, and molecule size.

(i) Internal stage or Dispersed medium (Discontinuous stage): It is the part that is present in small amount and is much the same as a solute in a solution. For instance in the colloidal solution of silver in water (silver behaves as a dispersed phase)

(ii) External stage or Dispersion medium (consistent stage): It is for the most part segment present in abundance and is much the same as a dissolvable in a solution. For instance, in the colloidal solution of silver in water. Water behaves as a dispersion medium.
