Colloids have particles evenly dispersed in a medium, giving a stable mixture. Suspensions have larger particles that settle out over time, causing the mixture to separate. This can be observed by the clarity of the liquid: colloids are usually translucent, while suspensions are cloudy.
Lyophilic colloids have a strong affinity for the dispersing medium, forming stable interactions that prevent agglomeration. In contrast, lyophobic colloids lack affinity for the dispersing medium, leading to weaker interactions and increased tendency for precipitation or coagulation, making them less stable.
Examples of dispersion methods in the preparation of colloids include mechanical methods such as grinding or milling, chemical methods like chemical precipitation, and thermal methods such as vaporization and condensation. These methods help break down larger particles into smaller ones to form stable colloidal suspensions.
Yes, colloids can leave a residue when filtered. Colloids are larger particles that can be trapped by the filter, resulting in a residue left behind after filtration.
Examples of edible colloids include whipped cream, mayonnaise, milk, yogurt, and chocolate. These are mixtures where small particles (such as fat or protein) are dispersed in a continuous medium (such as water or air) to create a stable, gel-like structure.
colloids are not visible due to their tiny particle size, (when the colloid is stable).
lyophilic solution is more stable cause it is attracted while liophobic are stabilised by agents like detergents
Yes, soapsuds are considered colloids. They are formed when soap molecules surround and trap air or gas bubbles in water, creating a stable dispersion. This is a typical example of a colloidal system.
After my opinion they are not colloids.

Milk: Milk is a colloidal dispersion of liquid fat globules in water, stabilized by proteins such as casein. Whipped cream: Whipped cream is created by incorporating air bubbles into a colloid of fat droplets in water, resulting in a stable foam. Gelatin dessert: Gelatin desserts are colloids where protein molecules form a network that traps water, giving the dessert a semi-solid consistency.
These colloids are called emulsions.
some colloids cause pollution in the environment...some colloids release cfc's that contributes to the ozone layer depletion...

Lyopobic colloid is a colloidal dispersion whereby the dispersed phase is solvent hating .i.e little interaction between the dispersed phase and the continuous phase. Lyophobic colloidal particles are not readily solvated because the continuous phase prefer to interact with one another than be involved in solvating the dispersed particles. Lyophobic colloidal dispersion does not form spontaneously when the dispersed particles and the continuous phase are brought together. The dispersed particles will tend to aggregate i.e thermodynamically favourable. However this is not pharmaceutically favourable. Dispersion method and condensation method are two methods involved in manufacturing lyophobic colloids. If the continuous phase is water, it is also called hydrophobic colloids.
