JEE Main Chemistry question

Not in JEE Main or NEET syllabus

There is formation of an electrical double layer of opposite charges on the surface of colloidal particles, so a potential develops which is known as

(A)Electrokinetic potentialCorrect
(B)Zeta potentialCorrect
(C)Streaming potential
(D)Colloidal potential

Answer: (A),(B)

Solution

Colloidal particles acquire a surface charge by selective ion adsorption, and this is balanced by an equal and opposite charge of ions in the surrounding medium, forming an electrical double layer. The potential difference across this double layer is given two equivalent, interchangeably used names in
