What are the properties of micelle?
Posted August 22, 2024
Answer
Micelle display the following properties:
- They are dynamic and not static. There is a continuous exchange between their molecules with the molecules in the surrounding solution.
- The shape and size of micelles can change based on conditions such as temperature and surfactant concentration.
- Micelles can dissolve hydrophobic compounds within their hydrophobic core, making them effective as detergents.
