Question

Which type of colloid is the dissolution sulphur($S_8$)?
a) Micelle
b) Associated
c) Multimolecular
d) Macromolecular

Answer 1

We also know that colloid is a mixture of particles where the substance of one class missed with another. The two main components in colloid solution are Dispersed phase and Dispersion medium. Dispersed phase is the one in which substances are dispersed whereas dispersion medium is the solution for the particles that are dispersed.

Complete answer:
We will look at all the options to define this question.
Option A) this option is incorrect as micelle is an aggregation of molecules together. It contains a hydrophobic and hydrophilic part. But the dissolution of sulphur is not a micelle. Micelle does not come under a class of colloid.
Option B) This option is incorrect as associated colloids are nothing but the formation of aggregated particles that is also known as micelle formation but we have already discussed above that micelle option is incorrect thus this option turns incorrect automatically.
Option C) this option is correct as in multimolecular colloid large number of atoms or molecules combines together to form a size range of colloid thus this option is correct as dissolution of sulphur which is also known as sulphur sol is an example of multimolecular colloid.
Option D) this is an incorrect option as dissolution of sulphur is multimolecular colloid and not macromolecular.

Note:
We have to know that a colloidal solution is the one in which insoluble dispersed particles are suspended into the particles of other substances. A colloidal system can be formed by varying the different states that are gas, liquid or solid. This solution is neither a true solution nor a suspension. A solution may be colored but always transparent in nature.
