Question

Explain the following terms with suitable examples
1. cationic detergent
2. anionic detergent
3. non ionic detergent​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.

Cationic detergents are more strongly absorbed on fabrics that are anionic or nonionic surfactants. They are used as wetting agents, fabric softeners, bacteriostats and emulsifiers

2.

Anionic detergent is a synthetic detergent in which a lipophilic hydrocarbon group of the molecule is an anion. A detergent molecule consists of a long hydrocarbon chain and a water-soluble negative ionic group. Definition: Anionic detergents are the sodium salts of the long-chain sulfonated alcohols or hydrocarbons.

3.

any of a class of synthetic detergents (as long-chain ether derivatives or esters of alcohols or phenols) that are neither anionic nor cationic but produce electrically neutral colloidal particles in solution.

Answer 2

Explanation:

HEY MATE .......

1. cationic detergents contain a positively-charged ammonium group. They are frequently used for common household soaps and cleansers, but can also serve specific purposes in a lab setting.
2. Anionic detergents typically have negatively-charged sulfate groups as the hydrophilic head;
3. that are neither anionic nor cationic but produce electrically neutral colloidal particles in solution.
