Sol state is a liquid state .The colloidal particles repel each other.
Gel state is more jellylike. The colloidal particles attract each other.
emulsion are colloidal system in which both dispersed phase and dispersed medium are in liquid state .
it is arbitary to differentiate them bt it depends on field of application
The changing of the sol and gel phases of the cytoplasmic matrix that results in organelle movement is called cytoplasmic streaming. This process involves the reversible conversion of the cytoplasm from a more fluid-like sol phase to a more gel-like phase, allowing organelles to move along with the flowing cytoplasm.
A collid in chemistry refers to a mixture where particles are suspended in a liquid medium, such as a sol, gel, or emulsion. These mixtures have particles that are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension. The particles in a colloid do not settle out over time due to Brownian motion.
hi friends this may help you,Sol - gel theory is proposed by hyman . It helps some protozoans to move. it is basically consists of some steps which are as follows:-1) The cytoplasm inside the cell is capable of changing into different forms i.e. from fluid to solid and vice versa. When the cytoplasm is in fluid state, it is known as plasma sol, and the more solid or gel like state is called the plasma-gel.2)The interchange of plasma sol to plasmagel is known as Sol-Gel theory and is responsible for amoeba movement.3) When the cytoplasm is in solid or gel like state, there is no locomotion. Movement takes place only when the cytoplasm is in fluid state. This way the amoeba "drags" itself and this movement is known as amoebic movement.4)The locomotion in the amoeba is effected by the formation of temporary finger-like processes of pseudopodia (false-feet, greek, pseudos, false + podos, foot).5)The plasma-sol changes into rigid plasmagel (gelates) at the anterior end and at the posterior end the plasma-gel changes into plasmasol (solates) causing a forward streaming of the more fluid plasma-sol.6)That is why in actively progressing specimens the plasma-sol is continuously rapidly streaming forward, while the plasma-gel is practically everywhere at rest forming, so to say, a tube within which the plasma-sol flows.7)It the course or a granule or crystal fairly straight course either until it reaches or nearly reaches the inner surface of the plasma-gel at the tip of an advancing pseudopod, then it deflects to the right or to the left, upward or downward and sooner or late, directly or indirectly comes into contact with plasma-gel into which it finally changes.8)Other granules are similarly coming and changing it to plasma-gel after attaching to it behind the crystal under observation. As more of these are coming in the same way the position of the first recedes from the anterior and approaches the posterior end of the amoeba. When it reaches this end it gradually moves inward and enters in the plasma-sol, after which it moves forward and the whole processes is again repeated.9)This gives an idea about the movement of the plasmasol and plasmagel. From this, the phenomenon of locomotion can be easily deducted.****************************KEVIN (Jr M.P.L) KAKINADA A.P*************************
There are a few different types of colloids based on the state of matter.Classifications:Aerosol (liquid dispersed in a gas - fog, mist, clouds) Foam (gas dispersed in a liquid - soda (CO2 dissolved in water), whipped cream)Solid Foam (gas dispersed in a solid - Styrofoam, plaster)Emulsion (liquid dispersed in a liquid - butter, milk)Gel (liquid dispersed in a solid - jello, starch solution)Solid Aerosol (solid dispersed in a gas - smoke, dust)Sol (solid dispersed in a liquid - blood, ink, paint)Condom (gas dispersed in a solid-square plane-figure)Prostitute (Girl turns rouge-causing her to have sex with anyone who pays her)
The three types of colloidal systems are sol, gel, and emulsion. In a sol, solid particles are dispersed in a liquid; in a gel, a network of solid particles is formed within a liquid; and in an emulsion, two immiscible liquids are dispersed in each other with the help of an emulsifying agent.
Sol-gel reversal is a process in which a material that was previously formed through the sol-gel method is converted back to its liquid sol precursor form through various means, such as exposure to heat or chemical treatments. This process allows for the modification or recycling of sol-gel derived materials.

Sols are the primary unit of measurement for concentration in chemistry, representing the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. For example, a 0.1 M (molar) solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) contains 0.1 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 liter of solvent.
The 3 types of colloidal system are: 1. Lyophilic colloids 2. Lyophobic colloids 3. Association colloids
Solvothermal and hydrothermal techniques are used to produce chemical compounds but the minor difference is that in hydrothermal technique,the precursor solution is usually not aqueous(However,this is not always the case).Also,the solvothermal route gains one the benefits of both sol-gel process and hydrothermal process.
Almost any combination of gas, liquid, and solid.-Any colloid consisting of solid dispersed in a gas is called a smoke. (ex. dust, industrial smoke)-A liquid dispersed in a gas is referred to as a fog. (ex. mist, clouds, hair sprays)-Gas cannot be dispersed into gas.
Key advantages offerred by the sol gel process 1.it uses relatively low temperature 2.it can create very fine powder 3.it produces compositions not possible by solid-state fusion

The changing of the sol and gel phases of the cytoplasmic matrix that results in organelle movement is called cytoplasmic streaming. This process involves the reversible conversion of the cytoplasm from a more fluid-like sol phase to a more gel-like phase, allowing organelles to move along with the flowing cytoplasm.
The sol-gel phenomenon is commonly exhibited in the formation of colloidal sols and gels from a solution where a network of solid particles forms within a liquid medium. This process involves the conversion of a sol (dispersed phase) into a gel (continuous phase) through controlled chemical reactions or physical processes, resulting in the formation of a solid material with unique properties. Examples include silica gels, metal oxide gels, and polymer gels.
Emulsoids are reversible sols that form reversible gels, meaning they can revert back to sol form with the addition of suitable solvents or conditions. Suspensoids, on the other hand, are irreversible as they do not revert back to sol form once gel formation occurs.
