Explain micelle formation in a soap solution.
Explain the formation of a micelle in soap solution.

Solution
- A soap molecule has a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain called a tail, which is attached to the hydrophilic ionic carboxylate group, called the head.
- In water, the soap molecules arrange themselves to form spherical particles that are called micelles.
- In each micelle, the hydrophobic tails of soap molecules point to the center, and the hydrophilic heads lie on the surface of the sphere.
- As a result of this, soap dispersion in water is stable.
