Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Colloidal particles are not large aggregates of atoms, but rather small particles that are larger than individual molecules but smaller than visible particles. Additionally, colloidal particles may have a charge, either positive or negative, due to their small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio.
