How are the collo

2) Depending upon nature of Particles of dispersed phase it can be classified into 3 categories

a) Multimolecular Colloids-In this colloidal particle consist of aggregates of atoms having diameter less than 1nm.

b) Macromolecular colloids-The colloids in which Large particle aggregates and dissolved into suitable liquid.

c) Associated colloids – This colloids show Colloidal property at higher concentrations. This contains ions of colloidal size.

3) Depending upon interactions between dispersed phase and dispersion medium it is divided into 2 categories

a) Lyophilic Colloids- lyophilic (liquid loving) this colloids formed by direct mixing of substances like gum starch etc. with suitable liquid, called as lyophilic sols . This are called as reversible Colloids because if dispersion medium is separated from the dispersed phase it can be reconstructed just by mixing them. This sols are quite stable. Ex-Protein ,Starch.

b) Lyophobic colloids- lyophobic (liquid hating) this Colloids don't formed by direct mixing of dispersed phase and dispersion media they require special methods for preparation. Ex-Sols of metal sulphides .
