There are certain substances which behave as normal, strong electrolyte at low concentration but at higher concentration they behave as colloidal solutions due to the formation of aggeregated particles. Such colloidals called associated colloids and the aggeregated particles are called micelles. The formation of micelles take place above certain concentration called critical micelization concentration called critical micellization concentration (CMC) and a characteristic temperature. Above CMC, the surfactant molecules undergo (more than one correct)

At the critical micelle concentration, the surfactant molecules :

At the critical micelle concentration, the surfactant molecules

Assertion (A): Micelles are formed by surfactant molecules above the critical micellization concentration (CMC) . Reason(R): The conductivity of a solution having surfactant molecules decreases sharply at the CMC .
