Question

What is difference between IMBIBITION and OSMOSIS?

Open in App

Imbibition is a property of colloidal solution as colloidal particles are large molecules that develop electric charge and attract water molecules that leads to adsorption of water and then penetration.
Osmosis is the movement of water from its high concentration to its low concentration across a semipermeable membrane.
