In macromolecular type of colloids, the dispersed particles are themselves large molecules (usually polymers). Since these molecules have dimensions comparable to those of colloidal particles, their dispersions are called macromolecular colloids. Most lyophilic sols belong to this category. These are certain colloids which behave as normal strong electrolytes at low concentrations, but exhibit colloidal properties at higher concentrations due to the formation of aggregated particles. These are known as micelles or associated colloids. Surface active agents like soaps and synthetic detergents belong to this class. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) is the lowest concentration at which micelle formation appears. CMC increases with the total surfactant concentration. At concentration higher than CMC, they form extended parallel sheets known as lamellar micelles which resemble biological membranes. With two molecules thick, the individual molecule is perpendicular to the sheets such that hydrophilic groups are on the outside in aqueous solution and on the inside is a non-polar medium. In concentrated solution, micelles take the form of long cylinders packed in hexagonal arrays and are called lytotroic measomorphs. In an aqueous solution (polar medium), the polar group points towards the periphery and the hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains point towards the conforming the core of the micelle. Mecelles from the ionic surfactants can be formed only above a certain temperature called the Kraft temperature. They are capable of forming ions Molecules of soaps and detergents consist of lyophilic as well as lyophilic parts which associate together to form micelles. Micelles may contain as many as 100 molecules or more. Cleansing action of soap occurs because :

Answer»

OIL and greases can be absorbed into the hyrophobic centres of SOAP micelles and washed away
oil and grease can be absorbed into HYDROPHILIC centres of soap micelles ACID washed away
oil and grease can be absorbed into both hydrophilic and hydrophobic centres but not washed away
cleansing action is not related to micelles

Answer :A
