    Which one of the following is not a surfactant?

    A)  

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{14}}-C{{H}_{2}}-N{{H}_{2}}\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{16}}-C{{H}_{2}}OS{{O}^{-}}_{2}N{{a}^{+}}\]

    D) \[OHC-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{14}}-C{{H}_{2}}-CO{{O}^{-}}\,N{{a}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Surfactant are those which have charge on their tail, e.g., cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide. Surfactants are those, which dissociate in water to yield positively charged ion. So\[{{\operatorname{CH}}_{3}}{{\left( C{{H}_{2}} \right)}_{14}}- C{{H}_{2}}\,- N{{H}_{2}}\]; is not surfactant.
