Solution

Sol and gel are examples of colloidal systems.

In a colloidal system, one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another. The substance that is dispersed is called the dispersed phase, and the substance in which it is dispersed is called the dispersion medium.

  1. Sol is a colloidal system where a solid is dispersed in a liquid. An example of a sol is paint, in which tiny particles of pigment (the solid) are dispersed in a liquid.

  2. Gel is a colloidal system where a liquid is dispersed in a solid. An example of a gel is jelly, in which water (the liquid) is dispersed in a network of gelatin (the solid).
