उत्तर १
Reasons for the stability of colloidal sols:
a. Coagulation of the colloidal sol is prevented because of the presence of equal and similar charges on the colloidal particles.
b. Colloidal particles are covered by a sheath of liquid in which they are extensively solvated because of which they acquire stability.
उत्तर २
There are two main reasons for the stability of colloidal sols:
1. Electrostatic stabilisation: Presence of equal and similar charges on the colloidal particles prevents coagulation of the colloidal sol.
2. Solvation: Colloidal particles are covered by a sheath of liquid in which they are extensively solvated, thereby providing stability.

Assertion: An ordinary filter paper impregnated with collodion solution stops the flow of colloidal particles.
Reason: Pore size of the filter paper becomes more than the size of colloidal particle.
