Which of the following is character of lyophilic colloid?
  1. Particles of dispersed phase have no affinity for dispersion medium.
  2. Particles easily detected under ultramicroscope.
  3. Addition of large amount of electrolyte causes precipitation.
  4. These are irreversible colloids.

Solution

In lyophilic colloid, the particles of dispersed phase have a great affinity for the dispersion medium. The particles are not easily visible even under ultramicroscope. Lyophilic colloids are reversible colloids.
