Solution
Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) is an example of anionic detergent. They dissociate in water as shown.
CH3−(CH2)10−CH2OSO−3Na+
H2O↓
CH3−(CH2)10−CH2−OSO−3Na+
These anions are present on the surface with their −OSO−3 group in water and hydrocarbon part staying away from it. At higher concentration, these anions are pulled into the bulk of the solution andd form an aggregate of spherical shape with their hydrocarbon part pointing towards the centre and −OSO−3 part outwards on the surface of the sphere
