Associated Colloids (Micelles): Associated colloids are strong electrolytes that act normally at low concentrations but develop colloidal features as aggregated particles form at increasing quantities. Micelles are the aggregated particles that result from this process. Surfactants (surface active agents) such as soaps and synthetic detergents frequently form the related colloids. When these agents are present in solution at a concentration higher than the critical micellization concentration, they produce micelles (CMC).
Lyophilic colloids: Gums, starch, and proteins all contribute to the formation of lyophilic colloids. Lyophilic sol can be simply made by mixing the colloid directly with the liquid. They are extremely stable and do not readily precipitate or coagulate. Large amounts of electrolytes, on the other hand, can cause particles to precipitate.
Adsorption: The adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface is known as adsorption. This procedure forms an adsorbate coating on the adsorbent’s surface.
