What is a
Gel is called the condition where a lyophilic sol coagulates and
comes into contact with a semi-rigid gelatinous mass that contains
all the liquid present.

Dispersed System Name Example

Dispersion medium phase
Solid Liquid Gel Jelly
Solid Solid Gel Ruby in glass.
Gold in glass.
Properties of gels

Link breakage
What is a jelly
It is a sweet preserve with a transparent
and gelatinous appearance, made from fruit
juice to which plenty of sugar or honey is
added.
Pectin or gelatin is frequently added to give
it that gelatinous consistency.
What is a sol li ofilico?
All lyophilic sols have a strong affinity between the dispersed phase and
the molecules that constitute the dispersion medium, they are much more
stable solids and behave like true solutions.
