The correct statement(s) related to colloids is (are)
- AThe process of precipitating colloidal sol by an electrolyte is called peptization.
- BColloidal solution freezes at higher temperature than the true solution at the same concentration.
- CSurfactants form micelle above critical micelle concentration (CMC). CMC depends on temperature.
- DMicelles are macromolecular colloids.

Correct answer: B, C
-
Check option A
- Peptization is the process of converting a precipitate into a colloidal sol by shaking it with a small amount of electrolyte having a common ion.
- Precipitating a colloidal sol by adding an electrolyte is called coagulation or flocculation, not peptization.
Therefore, A is false.
-
Check option B
- Freezing point depression is a colligative property and depends on the number of solute particles.
- For the same concentration, a true solution generally has more dispersed particles at molecular/ionic level than a colloidal solution, since colloidal particles are large aggregates and fewer in number.
- Hence, the depression in freezing point is less for a colloidal solution than for a true solution.
- Therefore, the colloidal solution freezes at a higher temperature than the true solution of the same concentration.
Therefore, B is true.
-
Check option C
- Surfactants form micelles only when their concentration exceeds the critical micelle concentration (CMC).
- The value of CMC is affected by factors like the nature of surfactant, solvent, presence of electrolytes, and temperature.
Therefore, C is true.
-
Check option D
- Micelles are associated colloids formed by aggregation of surfactant molecules above CMC.
- Macromolecular colloids are colloids in which the dispersed particles themselves are giant molecules, such as proteins, starch, nylon, etc.
- Since micelles are aggregates of small molecules, they are associated colloids, not macromolecular colloids.
Therefore, D is false.
-
Final answer
The correct statements are:
-
Comparison with stored correct answer
- Stored correct answer: B, C
- Derived answer: B, C
Hence, the derived answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
