Detergents are amphipathic compounds with charged hydrophilic or polar groups at the end of lengthy lipophilic hydrocarbon groups. 

The correct answer is 'True'.

• The statement "Detergents are amphipathic compounds with charged hydrophilic or polar groups at the end of lengthy lipophilic hydrocarbon groups" is true. 
• Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules containing a polar or charged hydrophilic group (head) at the end of a long lipophilic hydrocarbon group (tail).
• They are also called surfactants because they reduce the surface tension of water. These structural properties allow surfactants to aggregate in aqueous media.
• At sufficiently high concentrations, the polar hydrophilic regions of each molecule are directed toward the polar solute (water), while the hydrophobic region's group together to form thermodynamically stable micelles with a hydrophobic core.
