Chemistry Question on Surface Chemistry

Position of non polar & polar part in miscell

A

Polar at outer surface but non polar at innersurface

B

Polar at inner surface non polar at outer surface

C

Distributed over all the surface

D

Are present in the surface only

Answer

Polar at outer surface but non polar at innersurface

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (A) : Polar at outer surface but non polar at inner surface.

An assembly of surfactant molecules scattered in a liquid colloid is known as a micelle. Polar head groups,which typically make up the micelle's exterior surface, are present in micelles. Because they are polar, they face the ocean. Since they are non-polar, the hydrophobic tails are within and away from the water.
