Compare with colloid. A gell is a sol in which the solid particles fuse or entangle to produce a rigid or semirigid mixture. For example, gelatin dissolved in water produces a sol of protein molecules. When the gelatin is cooked, the protein chains entangle and crosslink, forming a gel which is a mesh of solid protein with trapped pockets of liquid inside. Fruit jellies are also gels

Gels are colloids in which both dispersed and continuous phases have a three-dimensional network throughout the material, so that it forms a jelly-like mass (e.g. gelatine). One component may sometimes be removed to leave a rigid gel (e.g. heating silica gel).

In alkali-silica reaction, the clear to gelatinous reaction product of silica with alkalis. This gel has a variable composition containing SiO2, CaO, and alkalis ( sodium and potassium ). A range of compositions is characterized by having high absorptivity for water causing the gel to swell thus causing the typical cracking observed in deleterious ASR.
