Bredig's arc method is a dispersion technique used to prepare colloidal gold solutions. It involves producing an electric arc between two gold electrodes submerged in a dispersion medium. The intense heat from the arc vaporizes the gold, which then condenses in the cooled medium to form colloidal gold particles. Stabilizers like potassium hydroxide are added to stabilize the colloidal solution.

the substance are broken in the presence of dispersion medium. They are stabilized by addition of suitable stabilizers. Bredigs arc method is a type of dispersion method that involves both dispersion and condensation, used in the preparation of colloidal sols of gold. Mechanism Of Bredigs arc method In this method, two gold electrodes are immersed into the dispersion medium. An electric arc is produced by passing high voltage current across the two electrodes. Electric arc -- a visible plasma discharge between two electrodes that is caused by electrical current ionizing gasses in the air. The dispersion medium is then cooled by surrounding it with an ice bath. Due to very high temperature from the tremendous heat produced from electric arc , the gold metal starts to vaporise. The vapour condense into the cold dispersion medium to form to the particles of colloidal size of gold upon cooling. The colloidal solution prepared is stabilised by adding a small amount of potassium hydroxide to it.
