Chemistry · Colligative properties of dilute solutions: a relative lowering of vapour pressure, depression of freezing point, the elevation of boiling point and osmotic pressure
The Tyndall effect associated with colloidal particles is due to:
The Tyndall effect associated with colloidal particles is due to:
- A. presenece of electrical charges
- B. scattering of light
- C. absorption of light
- D. reflection of light
Step-by-step solution
The Tyndall effect is caused by the scattering of light by colloidal particles. When a light beam passes through a colloid, the particles scatter the light, making the beam visible. It is not due to electrical charges, absorption, or reflection.
