3. True Solution
Diameter of the dispersed particle
– 1 Ao to 10 Ao
Sugar or salt in water
Suspension
Diameter of the dispersed particle
– > 2000 Ao
4. DEFINITION FOR COLLOIDS
• Intermediate between true
solutions and suspensions
• Dispersed particle 10 Ao
to 2000 Ao
5. * Dispersed phase (Solute)
substance distributed
* Dispersion Medium
(Solvent)
continuous phase in which
the colloidal particles are
dispersed
6. TYPES OF COLLOIDS
Dispersed
phase
Dispersion
medium
Name Examples
Solid Solid Solid-sol Ruby glass, alloys
Solid Liquid Sol Paint, ink
Solid Gas Aerosol Smoke, haze
Liquid Solid Gel Curd, cheese
Liquid Liquid Emulsion Milk, cream
Liquid Gas Liquid aerosol Cloud, mist
Gas Solid Solid foam Cork, pumice
stone
Gas Liquid Foam Froths of air
7. Lyophilic Colloids
Solvent loving
Considerable affinity between phase
and medium
Lyophobic Colloids
Solvent hating
Very little affinity between phase
and medium
23. STABILITY OF COLLOIDS
Gold number
weight in mg of a protective
colloid which prevents the
coagulation of 10 ml of gold sol
on adding 1 ml of 10 % NaCl.
