What are Lyophobic colloids?

Lyophobic colloids are liquid hating colloids (Lyo means solvent and phobic means hating). When these colloids are mixed with the suitable liquid, very weak force of attraction exists between colloidal particles and liquid and system does not pass into colloidal state readily.

What are Lyophilic and Lyophobic solutions?

They are those in which the dispersed phase exhibits a definite affinity for the dispersion medium(liquid) or the solvent.For eg. Dispersion of starch, gum, & protein in water.The affinity of sol particles for the medium is due to hydrogen bonding with water(dispersion medium).
