Question

Micelles are :

• A. emulsion-cum gel
• B. adsorbed catalyst
• C. associated colloids
• D. ideal solutions

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

associated colloids

Associated colloids behave as normal electrolytes at low concentrations but colloids at higher concentrations. This is because at higher concentrations, they form aggregated (associated) particles called miscelles. Soap and synthetic detergents are examples of associated colloids. They furnish ions which may have colloidal dimensions.
