Question

What is the exact definition of micelles

Answer 1

Physical Chemistry . an electrically charged particle formed by an aggregate of molecules and occurring in certain colloidal electrolyte solutions, as those of soaps and detergents.

Answer 2

Micelle, in physical chemistry, a loosely bound aggregation of several tens or hundreds of atoms, ions (electrically charged atoms), or molecules, forming a colloidal particle—i.e., one of a number of ultramicroscopic particles dispersed through some continuous medium. Micelles are important in the chemistry of surfaces—e.g., the power of soap solutions to disperse organic compounds insoluble or only slightly soluble in water is explained as a property of micelles.
