(N/A) Colloids are classified based on the following criteria:
$(i)$ Physical states of components: Based on the physical state (solid,liquid,or gas) of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium,colloids are classified into eight types (gas-gas mixtures are not colloidal).
$(ii)$ Nature of the dispersion medium: Depending on the dispersion medium used,sols are named as follows:
$Dispersion \ medium$ $Name \ of \ sol$
Water Aquasol or Hydrosol
Alcohol Alcosol
Benzene Benzosol
Gas Aerosol

$(iii)$ Interaction between dispersed phase and dispersion medium: Colloids are classified as $lyophilic$ (solvent-attracting) and $lyophobic$ (solvent-repelling) based on the affinity between the two phases.
