Colloids

Objectives:
-To know the definition of colloids -To determine the classification of colloids -To distinguish the common and some examples of colloids according to their classification -To know how colloids are classified.

Colloids
The word "Colloid" was derived from the Greek, "kolla" for glue, as some of the original organic colloidal solutions were glues.

The mixture is also called a colloidal solution, colloidal system, or colloidal dispersion. Colloidal systems can be any combination of these states. Colloid formation can be classified in two systems, namely reversible and irreversible. In an irreversible system, the products are so stable or removed so well that the original reactants cannot be reproduced.

Motivation
Find words associated with colloids.

Activity 1
Connect each mixture with their specific classification.

Sols

Foams

Emulsions

Gel

foam
A foam is a substance that is formed by trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or solid. In most foams, the volume of gas is large, with thin films of liquid or solid separating the regions of gas.

emulsion
An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible (nonmixable or unblendable). Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids.

Activity 2
Tell whether the picture is an emulsion or not. __________________________________

A sol is a colloidal suspension of very small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium. They are quite stable and show the Tyndall effect. Examples include blood, pigmented ink, and paint. Artificial sols may be prepared by dispersion or condensation. Dispersion techniques include grinding solids to colloidal dimensions byball milling and Bredig's arc method. The stability of sols may be maintained by using dispersing agents. Sols are commonly used in preparing sol-gels.

gel

A gel (from the lat. gelu freezing, cold, ice or gelatus frozen, immobile) is a solid, jellylike material that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough. It is the crosslinking within the fluid that give a gel its structure (hardness) and contribute to the adhesive stick (tack). In this way gels are a dispersion of molecules of a liquid within a solid in which the solid is the continuous phase and the liquid is the discontinuous phase.
