Write an important characteristic of lyophilic sols.

Answer

Lyophilic sols are sols that are solvent-attracting. An important characteristic of these sols is that if the dispersion medium is separated from the dispersion phase by any method, the sol can be reconstituted by simply remixing the two again. That is why these sols are also known as reversible sols
