- Detergents are a family of compounds that are similar to soaps and work in a similar way.
- Soaps are molecules in which the two ends have differing properties.
- One is hydrophilic, this part has a strong affinity for water molecules, and it dissolves in water.
- The other end is hydrophobic, this part tries to stay away from water molecules, and it dissolves in hydrocarbons.
