JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3sc123

Starch in water, sulphur sol and soap solution above its critical micelle concentration are classified, respectively, as

  1. Amultimolecular, macromolecular and associated colloids
  2. Bmacromolecular, multimolecular and associated colloids
  3. Cassociated, multimolecular and macromolecular colloids
  4. Dmacromolecular, associated and multimolecular colloids

Answer: B

Starch particles are single giant molecules, so the colloid is macromolecular. The sulphur sol particles are aggregates of many molecules, so it is multimolecular. Soap above the CMC forms micelles, which are associated colloids.
