Colloidal solutions can be considered as a heterogeneous system consisting of the following three essential components:
(i) A dispersed phase: It is also known as discontinuous or inner phase. It consists of discrete particles significantly larger than ordinary molecules and in this small particles of solute is diffused in solvent.
(ii) A dispersion medium: It is the medium in which dispersed phase is present. This consists of continuously interlinked molecules.
(iii) A stabilising agent: This is a substance which tends to keep the colloidal particles apart. Some colloids are self stabilizers.
