Question

Lyophilic colloid is more stable than lyophobic colloid.

Answer 1

Answer:

Lyophilic sols are relatively stable as strong forces of interaction exist between colloidal particles and liquid. lyophobic sols are less stable as weak forces of interaction exist between colloidal particles and liquid.

Answer 2

Answer:

(1) Lyophilic colloids : The sols in which there is a strong affinity between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are called lyophilic colloids.

(2) Lyophobic colloids : The sols in which there is little affinity between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are called lyophobic colloids.
