Which property of colloidal solution is independent of charge on the colloidal particles?

Which property of colloidal solution is independent of charge on the colloidal particles?
A Coagulation
B Electrophoresis
C Electro-osmosis
D Tyndall effect

Detailed Solution

The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles; it depends on particle size, not on their charge.
Coagulation, electrophoresis and electro-osmosis all depend on the charge on the particles.
