SALAM AFRIDI BHAI
I WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THIS. SEE THERE IS A FACT THAT COLOIDAL PARTICLES ARE ALWAYS CHARGED. AND THE ONE OTHER FACT IS IF I GIVE YOU  A PARTICULAR COLLOID WHETHER ITS ALL PARTICLES WILL BE POSITIVE CHARGED OR ALL WILL BE NEGATIVE CHARGED.
AS ALL HAVE SAME CHARGE,THEY REPEL EACH OTHER{LIKE REPELS LIKE}
THIS PREVENTS AGGREGATION OF COLLOIDAL PARTICLES AND THEY REMAN IN COLLOIDAL SIZE RANCE{1-1000 nm
ONLY}
In colloidal system a particle have some charge on it and a liquid layer of opposite charge particle surrounds it . This causes ponential difference between the two layers. this potential difference is called zeta or electrokinetic potential.
I HOPE THIS HELPS
