We know that surface acting agents (i.e. surfactants) such as soaps and detergents belong to the class of
micelles. A miceller system when dissolved in water, dissociates to give ions. The anion consists of two parts. The polar groups such as $$\left( {CO{O^ - }\,{\text{or}}\,\,SO_4^{ - - }} \right)$$ ion is water loving (i.e. hydrophilic) in nature. It is called head of the species. The hydrocarbon chain which is quite big in size is water repelling (i.e. hydrophobic) in nature. It is called tail of the species. The hydrocarbon chain aggregates into the micelle above the critical concentration.
NOTE : It may also be noted that the critical concentration for micelle formation decreases with increase in the molecular weight of the hydrocarbon chain of surfactant.
Here the two anions that are formed are in case of "B"
$$\left( {{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.}}\,\,C{H_3}{{\left( {C{H_2}} \right)}_{11}}OSO_3^ - } \right)\,$$ and "C" $$\left( {{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}.\,\,C{H_3}{{\left( {C{H_2}} \right)}_6}{\text{CO}}\mathop {\text{O}}\limits^ - } \right)$$
The molecular weight of hydrocarbon chain is more in case of "B" so it has lower value of critical concentration for micelle formation in aqueous solution.
Hence the correct answer is option (b).

In these colloids, a large number of small atoms or smaller molecules of a substance aggregate to form colloidal particles having size in colloidal range. These colloids are known as
In multimolecular colloids, the smaller particles aggregate and are held together by van der Waals' forces, e.g. sols of gold atoms and sulphur molecules.

Which property of colloids is not dependent on the charge on colloidal particles?
Tyndall effect is optical property, whereas other properties are electrical properties. Hence dependent on the charge on colloids

The density of gold is $$19\,g/c{m^3}.$$ If $$1.9 \times {10^{ - 4}}g$$ of gold is dispersed in one litre of water to give a sol having spherical gold particles of radius $$10\,nm,$$ then the number of gold particles per $$m{m^3}$$ of the sol will be :
More easily liquefiable gases are adsorbed readily. Thus, $${H_2}$$ gas having low critical temperature $$\left( {33\,K} \right)$$ is not easily liquefied and shows least adsorption.

Gold numbers of protective colloids $$A,$$ $$ B,$$ $$C$$ and $$D$$ are 0.50, 0.01, 0.10 and 0.005, respectively. the correct order of their protective powers is
For a protective colloid $$\mu $$ lesser the value of gold number better is the protective power.
Thus the correct order of protective power of A, B, C and D is
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( A \right)\,\,\, < \,\,\left( C \right)\,\,\,\, < \,\,\left( B \right)\,\, < \,\,\left( D \right) \cr
& {\text{Gold number}}\,\,\,\,{\text{0}}{\text{.50}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{0}}{\text{.10}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{0}}{\text{.01}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{0}}{\text{.005}} \cr} $$
Hence (C) is the correct answer
Tyndall effect is due to the scattering of light by colloidal particles. Sugar solution is a true homogeneous solution which will not show Tyndall effect.
