Explanation:

Curdled milk is what you get when lumps form in smooth milk.

The protein molecules, mainly casein, repel each other so they naturally distribute evenly through the liquid.

Milk is slightly acidic. When the pH is lowered even more by the addition of another acidic ingredient, the protein molecules stop repelling each other.

This allows them to stick together or coagulate into clumps known as curds.

The watery liquid that remains is called whey

For example paneer or cottage cheese is formed this way.
