Question

what is lyophobic colloid? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lyophobic colloids are liquid hating colloids (Lyo means solvent and phobic means hating). When these colloids are mixed with the suitable liquid, a very weak force of attraction exists between colloidal particles and liquid and system does not pass into colloidal state readily.

Answer 2

Answer:

These are the liquid hating colloids as they don’t get hydrated easily or don’t mix with the given solution. They are not easily prepared and additional stabilizer is required during preparation. As they don’t mix with water so they are relatively less stable and possess almost same viscosity as in medium.

For ex: As2S3, Fe(OH)3 and Pt-sols etc.
