Artificial polymers such as nylon and polystyrene generally behaves as:
-
lyophobic colloids
-
macromolecular colloids
-
multimolecular colloids
-
associated colloids
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Macromolecular colloidal particles are formed when on dissolution in a suitable solvent, the macromolecules have sizes which are in the colloidal range. Naturally occurring macromolecules are starch, proteins and cellulose. Man made macromolecules are polymers such as polyethylene, nylon and polystyrene. These colloids are quite stable and resemble true solutions in many respects.
