Colloids are classified into multi-molecular, macro-molecular and associated colloids. Correct Answer True

Based on the nature of dispersed phase, colloids are classified into multi-molecular, macro-molecular and associated colloids. In multi-molecular colloids a large number of atoms aggregate to form a particle of colloidal size, in macro-molecular colloids molecules dissolve in suitable solvents and give rise to particles of colloidal size. Colloids which behave as a normal strong electrolyte at low concentration but exhibits colloidal properties at higher concentration are known as associated colloids.
