The charge on colloidal particies is due to
Options
- Apresence of electrolyte
- Bvery small size of particles
- Cadsorption of ions from the solution
- Dcan't be determined
Correct answer
C. adsorption of ions from the solution
Step-by-step solution
The colloidal particles have a tendency to preferentially adsorb a particular type of ions form the solution. This preferential adsorption of a particular type of ions imparts a particular type of charge to colloidal narticles.
