Question

What is miccels formations?

Ch- carbon & compounds.

Answer 1

Micelle formation takes place when soap is added to water because the hydrocarbon chain of soap molecules are hydrophobic which are insoluble in water but the ionic ends of soap molecules are hydrophilic and hence soluble in water.

Answer 2

Micelles are lipid molecules that arrange themselves in a spherical form in aqueous solutions. The formation of a micelle is a response to the amphipathic nature of fatty acids, meaning that they contain both hydrophilic regions (polar head groups) as well as hydrophobic regions (the long hydrophobic chain).
