At the Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) the surfactant molecules

1. decompose
2. dissociate
3. associate
4. become completely soluble

Correct answer: associate

Solution

At the Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC), surfactant molecules aggregate to form micelles, which is a process of association. This occurs when the concentration of surfactant exceeds a certain threshold.
