28. Why are detergents and soaps good at cleaning up oily stains from
dishes or clothing?
A. Detergents and soaps work well to clean
up oily messes because they are amphiphilic in nature so they contain
both hydrophilic (polar) and hydrophobic (nonpolar) ends. The
hydrophobic end attaches to oils via hydrogen bonds creating micelles
which leave the hydrophilic part exposed and can be washed away by
water.
B. Detergents and soaps work well to clean up oily
messes because they are amphiphilic in nature so they contain both
hydrophilic (non-polar) and hydrophobic (polar) ends. The hydrophobic
end attaches to oils via London forces creating micelles which leave
the hydrophilic part exposed and can be washed away by water.

are amphiphilic in nature so they contain both hydrophilic (polar) and
hydrophobic (nonpolar) ends. The hydrophobic end attaches to oils via
