It seemed important to me that this potential is a commonly used measurement in colloidal

chemistry, as it indicates the potential or force needed to penetrate the ionic shell
surrounding our particle to sediment and destabilize it.

We can say that this potential is considered as an electrostatic force existing between the
layers that surround the particle.

We also have models, one of which is the double layer known as the Z potential, at the
meeting point of the two layers, the diffuse layer and the back layer. Since in this model we
cannot measure both the surface charge and the potential, we use the zeta potential as a
useful and efficient measurement tool to be able to control the colloid in question, since we
can visualize the possible changes in the surface potential as well as Repulsive forces
between colloids.

In our next model, we have the double layer model because, as the name suggests, it refers
to the attraction that the negative colloid of the solution undergoes, which basically causes
some positive ions to form a rigid shell that surrounds the surface of our colloid.

The rigid layer is known as the Stern layer because it plays an important role in the
behavior of colloids and other surfaces in contact with solvents. The diffuse layer, in turn,
is related to the sum of the charge densities of the entire molecule.
