Which of the following is a characteristic of a multi-molecular colloid? |
Large number of molecules combine to form a particle of colloidal size A large number of atoms aggregate to form a particle of colloidal size Starch solution is an example of multi-molecular colloid Multi-molecular colloids are normally of the lyophilic type |
A large number of atoms aggregate to form a particle of colloidal size |
In these type of colloidal solution, several atoms or tiny molecules group together to produce colloidal-sized particles, which are often of the lyophobic variety. As starch solution provides an illustration of lyophilic colloids rather than multi-molecular colloids, it is not a suitable comparison. |
