What are micelles? Given an example of micelle system.

Explanation

The particles of colloidal size formed due to aggregation of several units of stearate of soap molecules `(` surfactants `)` in a dispersion medium are called micelles. A concentrated solution of soap in water is a micelles system. Such substances are also called associated colloids. In other words. a micelles system `(` or associated colloid `)` behaves as a true solution in low concentration form and as a colloid in high concentration form. The micelles revert to individual ions on dilution.
