Give reason for each of the following:
Lyophilic colloidal solutions are more stable than lyophobic colloidal solutions.
Answer
Answer
AIBecause lyophilic colloids are strongly solvated (solvent-loving) and stabilised by the layer of solvent, whereas lyophobic colloids have little affinity for the solvent and are stable only through the charge on their particles.
