Question

why does micelle formation takr olace when soao is added in water ? will a micelle be formed in other solvents such as ethanol also ?

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak{Answer:-}$

⭕ When soap is dissolved in water, it forms a colloidal suspension in water in which soap molecules cluster together to form spherical micelles.

⭕ In soap miscelle, the soap molecules are arranged radially with hydrocarbon ends directed towards the centre and ionic ends directed outwards.

⭕ Miscelle formation does not take place in organic solvents like ethanol because hydrocarbon chain of soap molecules are soluble in it!
