Question

Give one difference between sol and gel also give one example

Answer 1

Sol. The liquid state of a colloidal solution is called a Sol

Gel. The solid or semi-solid state of colloidal solution is called Gel

Answer 2

A sol is a colloidal solution suspension of very small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium. Sols are quite stable and show the Tyndall effect. Examples include blood, pigmented ink, cell fluids and paint. Artificial sols may be prepared by dispersion or condensation.

These are gels (solid) or sols (liquid) made of particles dispersed in water. Gelatin is a sol when hot, and a gel when cooled. Other examples are jellies made from pectin, agar, carrageenan, or other gelling agents. If the particles are too large, instead of a stable colloid, we get a suspension.





A sol is a type of colloid in which solid is the dispersed phase and liquid is thedispersion medium. Examples include milk of magnesia, mud etc. A gel is a type of colloid in liquid is the dispersed phase and solid is the dispersed medium. Examples include jelly, cheese etc.
