2) Depending upon nature of Particles of dispersed phase it can be classified into 3 categories
Multimolecular Colloids-In this colloidal particle consist of aggregates of atoms having diameter less than
Macromolecular colloids-The colloids in which Large particle aggregates and dissolved into suitable
Associated colloids – This colloids show Colloidal property at higher This contains ions of colloidal size.
3) Depending upon interactions between dispersed phase and dispersion medi
