Question:

Case: Read the passage and answer the following questions

A colloid is a heterogeneous system in which one substance is dispersed (dispersed phase) as very fine particles in another substance called a dispersion medium. The essential difference between a solution and a colloid is that of particle size. Colloids are classified based on the following criteria: (i) Physical state of the dispersed phase and dispersion medium (ii) Nature of interaction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium (iii) Type of particles of the dispersed phase.

Which of the following is not a classification based on the type of particles of the dispersed phase?
Options:
Multimolecular colloids
Macromolecular colloids
Lyophobic colloids
Associated colloids
Correct Answer:
Lyophobic colloids
Explanation:
Depending upon the type of the particles of the dispersed phase, colloids are classified as multimolecular, macromolecular and associated colloids
