Question
Which of the following statements are correct?
(i) Mixing two oppositely charged sols neutralises their charges and stabilises the colloid.
(ii) Presence of equal and similar charges on colloidal particles provides stability to the colloids.
(iii) Any amount of dispersed liquid can be added to emulsion without destabilising it.
(iv) Brownian movement stabilises sols.

Solution
(ii) Presence of equal and similar charges on colloidal particles provides stability to the colloids.
(iv) Brownian movement stabilises sols.
Explanation:
The presence of equal and similar charges on colloidal particles is largely responsible in providing stability to the colloidal solution, because the repulsive forces between charged particles having same charge prevent them from coalescing or aggregating when they come closer to one another. The Brownian movement has stirring effect which does not permit the particles to settle and thus, is responsible for the stability of sols.
