A dispersed colloidal particle can absorb electrically charged particles (either positive or negative) on its surface. Colloidal particles of a given kind will all have the same electric charge. Because of this , the dispersed colloidal particles repel each other.

What does it mean that colloids scatter light?

When colloids scatter light, it means that the particles in the colloid are large enough to disrupt the path of light passing through them. This scattering effect causes the light to be reflected in different directions, making the colloid appear cloudy or opaque.

What does discharging an object mean?

Discharging an object means removing excess electrical charge from it. This can be done by allowing the charge to flow to another object or to the ground, helping to balance the electrical potential of the object. This process is important to prevent static electricity buildup and reduce the risk of electrical shocks.
