Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 13. (d)
Solution:
Haemoglobin and gold sol both are colloids and may carry an electric charge. Haemoglobin is a negatively charged sol, because in haemoglobin, $Fe^{2+}$ ion is the central metal ion of the octahedral complex.
All metal sols like Au-sol, Ag-sol etc., are positively charged sols.
