Question

State two properties of carbon which lead to a large number of carbon compounds. (b) why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water? Why are micelles not formed when soap is added to ethanol

Answer 1

the two properties of carbon which lead to a large number of carbon compounds are: catenation and tetravalency

when we add soap to water the ionic end(sodium/potassium) dissolves in water while the carboxylic end dissolves in the dirt which are mostly oil particles, thus results in the formation of the structure called micelles

when soap is added to ethanol, the ionic end cannot dissolve with the solvent ethanol, hence no micelle firmation is observed.

That's all, thank you. And if i liked my answer could you please mark it the brainliest?
