(a) Sodium alkl sulphates: For example, Sodium lauryl sulphate `-C_(17)H_(23) CH_(2) OSO_(3) Na`
(b) Sodium alkyl benzene sulphonates:

(ii) Broad spectrum antibiotics: Antibiotics are the drugs which are made from micro organism to kill micro -organism. Broad spectrum antibiotics are effective against several different types of harmful bacteria. For example, tetracyline, chloramphenicol, ofloxacin etc.
