Read the Assertion and Reason below and choose the correct option. — Surface Chemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Substances like proteins, starch, and rubber readily form colloidal solutions when mixed with suitable dispersion media (e.g., water for starch, benzene for rubber) because they exhibit strong affinity and interaction with the solvent. This strong interaction classifies them as lyophilic (solvent-loving) colloids. Statement II accurately explains Statement I. Therefore, correct answer is A.
