Single Choice

The charge on colloidal particles is due to

APresence of electrolyte
BVery small size of particles
CAdsorption of ions from the solution
Correct Answer
DNone of these

Solution

Some colloidal particles develop electrical charges due to the dissociation/ionization of the surface molecules. The charge on the colloidal particles is balanced by the oppositely charged ions in the sol.
