Q. Choose the correct reason(s) for the stability of the lyophobic colloidal particles.

IIT JEEIIT JEE 2012Surface Chemistry

Solution:

Lyophobic sol, which is otherwise unstable, gets stabilised by preferential adsorption of ions on their surface, thus developing a potential difference between the fixed layer and the diffused layer. Thus, option (a) and (d) are correct.
