Question
Define each of the following terms:
  1. Micelles.
  2. Peptization.
  3. Desorption.

Answer

  1. Micelles: Micelles are associated colloids which show colloidal behaviour at high concentration and act as strong electrolytes at low concentration.
  2. Peptization: The process of converting a precipitate into colloidal sol by shaking itwith dispersion mediumin the presence of a small amount of electrolyte is called Peptization.
  3. Desorption: The process of removing an adsorbed substance froma surface onwhich it is adsorbed is called desorption.
