A. Covalent bonding between micelles. B. Strong gravitational forces. C. Ion-ion repulsion. D. Hydrogen bonding with water molecules.

Q7.Why does a soap solution appear cloudy?

A. Due to the absorption of light by soap molecules. B. Because soap micelles are large enough to scatter light. C. Due to the formation of a transparent true solution. D. Because soap molecules reflect all incident light.
