Question:

Which property of colloids is not dependent on the charge on colloidal particles?

Coagulation

Electro-osmosis

Electrophoresis

Tyndall effect

Solution:

Tyndall effect is due to the scattering of light and not due to charge. Thus, the Tyndall effect is not dependent on the charge on colloidal particles. All other properties are dependent on the electric charge. Hence, the correct option is D.
