4、C CHARACTER6Surfactants are amphipathic compounds.Meaning they have and affinity for both water and oil.Surfactant molecules have polar“head”groups and nonpolar“tails”chains.Surfactants accumulate at interfaces(air/water and oil/water interface)There are three main types of surfactants:Nonionic,Cati
