In a soap micelle, the soap molecules are arranged radially with:
  • A
    Ionic ends directed towards the centre and hydrocarbon ends directed outwards.
  • Hydrocarbon ends directed towards the centre and ionic ends directed outwards.
  • C
    Both ionic ends and hydrocarbon ends directed toward the centre.
  • D
    Both hydrocarbon ends and ionic ends directed outwards

Answer
