MHT CET Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Question

Which of the following is an example of macromolecular colloid?

Options

  1. A. Proteins
  2. B. Detergents
  3. C. Soap
  4. D. S _8 sulphur molecules

Answer

A. Proteins

Step-by-step solution

Macromolecular colloids are formed when large molecules (macromolecules) having colloidal dimensions are dispersed in a suitable dispersion medium. Examples include naturally occurring macromolecules such as starch, cellulose, proteins, and enzymes, as well as man-made polymers like polythene, nylon, and polystyrene. Soaps and detergents are examples of associated colloids (micelles), which are formed by the aggregation of a large number of ions in concentrated solutions. Sulphur sol, consisting of particles containing a thousand or more S _8 sulphur molecules, is an example of a multimolecular colloid. Therefore, proteins are an example of a macromolecular colloid.
