A colloid is a heterogeneous system in which a substance is dispersed (dispersed phase) as fine particles in another substance called dispersion medium.
Their particle size is intermediate between that of pure solutions (less than 1 nm ) and suspensions (greater than 1000 nm ).
They are known for interesting properties such as enormous surface area, Tyndall effect, Brownian motion etc.
They are widely used in industries and day to day life.
Some prominent uses of colloids are those in smoke precipitators, purification of water, medicines, cleansers etc.
Stability of a colloid is intermediate between that of a solution and suspension. This stability can be attributed to _____________
A. Presence of charge on the particles of dispersed phase.
B. Prolonged mechanical stirring.
C. Solvation by the dispersion medium.
D. Brownian Motion.
E. Dialysis

- Answer the question on basis of passage given below :
The noble gases He to Rn have close shell configuration and are monoatomic gases under normal conditions. Though mostly unreactive, but direct reaction of Xe with \(F_2\) leads to a series of compounds with Xe oxidation numbers \(+2,+4\) and +6 . When certain compounds like phenol and quinol are crystallised in the presence of noble gas such as \(Ar , Kr\) and Xe a category of compound called clathrates are formed. In these the noble gas atoms are trapped in the cavities of the crystal lattices. The compounds which crystallise are known as hosts (H) while the noble gas atoms are called guests ( \(G\) ). The general formula of a clathrate compound is \(n H m G\), where \(n\) is the number of host molecules and m is the number of atoms a molecule of guest.
