Question

What are micelles? Give an example of a micellers system.

Answer 1

Micelles are the clusters or aggregated particles formed by association of colloids in solution. Soaps and detergents form micelles when temperatureis above Kraft temperature and concentration is above critical micelle concentration (CMC). For soaps, CMC is about ${10}^{-4}$ to ${10}^{-3}$ M. The micelle may contain $100$ molecules or more.
