Characteristics of Lyophobic and Lyophilic Colloids

Lyophobic Colloids	Lyophilic Colloids 1 -Lyophilic colloids very stable and are not easily coagulated by electrolytes.
I. These are generally unstable, get
easily coagulated on adding electrolytes.

2. These sols are irreversible in nature.	2. These sols are reversible in nature.
3. Prepared by indirect methods.	Usually prepared by simple solution
4.Viscosity of colloidal dispersion is same as that of the solvent.
	4. These are highly viscous systems.
5. These are generally inorganicmaterials i.e. metals, sulphide and	5. Mostly organic materials e.g., starch, proteins, gums etc.
