What is the difference between multimolecular and macromolecular colloids? Give one example of each. How are associated colloids differ from these two types of colloids?

Answer»

Multimolecular colloids are formed by the aggregation of a large number of small atoms/molecules. The aggregates thus formed have size in the colloidal range, e.g. Gold sol.

Macromolecular colloids contain large size molecules which have the dimensions of colloids, e.g. Starch. Associated colloids behave as electrolytes at low concentration but exhibit colloidal behaviour at higher concentration, e.g. Soap.
