Differentiate on the basis of chemical composition between cationic and anionic detergents. Also give one example of each category.
Cationic detergents are quartenary ammonium salts of amines with acetates, chlorides or bromides as anions.e.g. cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide
Anionic detergents are sodium salts of sulphonated long chain alcohols or or hydrocarbons.e.g. Sodium lauryl sulphate
