 A lyophilic sol is stable due to the charge and the hydration of sol particles. Such a sol can only be coagulated by removing the water and adding solvents like alcohol, acetone,etc. and then an electrolyte.
On the other hand, a lyophobic sol is stable due to the charge only and hence can be easily coagulated by adding small amount of an electrolyte.

Lyophillic sols are relatively stable due to preseces of attraction between colloidal particles and liquid, but whereas there is weak intermolecular force of attractionn between colloidal particle and liquid in lyophobic sols.
This might be just sweet,simple and crisp answer

In lyophilic there is strong electrolytic force so more stable where as in lyophobic there is interction only due to double charge layer formation which easily can coagulated.

Lyophilic sols are more stable than lyophobic sols because they are highly hydrated in the solution. And since more is the hydration more will be its stability therefore lyophilic sols are more stable than lyophobic sols.

Lyophillic sols are  stablized by electrostatic charge and hydration whereas lyophobic sols are only stablized  by charge, so they easily gets coagulated and requires a stablising agent. Hence lyophillic sols are more stable than lyophobic sols.

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

Lyophilic sols are relatively stable as strong forces of interaction exist between colloidal particles and liquid. lyophobic sols are less stable as weak forces of interaction exist between colloidal particles and liquid.

Thanks and Regards
