Q. Lyophilic sols are more stable than lyophobic sols because

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Surface Chemistry

Solution:

The stability of lyophilic solsis a result of two factors, the presence of a charge and the solvation of colloidal particles. On the other hand, the stability of lyophobic solsis only because of the presence of a charge. Thus, thelyophilic solismore stable thanlyophobic soldue to the extensive solvation.
