Differentiate between Multimolecular and macromolecular colloids.

Answer»

Multimolecular colloids	Macromolecular colloids
A large number of atoms or small molecules of a substance aggregate to form particles of colloidal size are known as Multimolecular colloids. e.g. Gold sol, As₂S₃ Sol	If the individual particles of the dispersed phase have dimensions similar to colloidal size, the dispersion is called macromolecular colloids. e.g. Protein, Enzyme, cellulose, Polythene, etc
