Question

Which of the following represents a synthetic detergent?

Answer 1

Hey dear brother/sister,

    In option (a) and (b), the two structures are of soaps. But in option (c), the structure is of Sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate, which is an anionic detergent.

     So, option (c) will be the correct answer as this structure represents a synthetic detergent which is anionic in nature.

Thanking you. Please mark me brainliest if this answer helped you, I need the brainliest badges. :-)
