When lyophilic sols are added to lyophobic sols, depending on their sizes, either lyophobic sol is adsorbed in the surface of lyophilic sol or lyophilic sol is adsorbed on the surface of lyophobic sol. The layer of the protective colloid prevents direct collision between the hydrophobic colloidal particles and thus prevents coagulation. [1]
The gold number is the minimum weight (in milligrams) of a protective colloid/lyophilic colloid required to prevent the coagulation of 10 ml of a standard hydro gold sol when 1 ml of a 10% sodium chloride solution is added to it. [1] It was first used by Richard Adolf Zsigmondy in 1901.
Colloidal System: Finely divided particles of any substance with diameter lying within 1-100 nm range dispersed in any medium constitute what is termed a "colloidal system solution". It is a two phase system.
The term coacervate was coined in 1929 by Dutch chemist Hendrik G. Bungenberg de Jong and Hugo R. Kruyt while studying lyophilic colloidal dispersions. [1] The name is a reference to the clustering of colloidal particles, like bees in a swarm .
A sol is a colloidal suspension made out of tiny solid particles [1] in a continuous liquid medium. Sols are stable, so that they do not settle down when left undisturbed, and exhibit the Tyndall effect, which is the scattering of light by the particles in the colloid. The size of the particles can vary from 1 nm - 100 nm.

Colloid: Short synonym for colloidal system. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Colloidal : State of subdivision such that the molecules or polymolecular particles dispersed in a medium have at least one dimension between approximately 1 nm and 1 μm, or that in a system discontinuities are found at distances of that order.
Agents on patrol discovered two backpacks stuffed with more than $1.1 million worth of cocaine in Washington state near the border with Canada, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Monday.
