A micelle refers to an aggregate of a surfactant molecule, which a dispersed in a liquied colloid. In an aqueous liquid, a micelle is arranged in such a way that its hydrophillic head region will be in contact with the surrounding solvents while the hydrophobic tail region will be embedded in its center.
The three dimensional shape of a micelle is A SPHERE.
