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 non-polar) 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.
