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.
