MCQ
The polar end in soap is called:
- ✓Hydrophilic.
- BHydrophobic.
- CLipophilic.
- DNone of these.
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Hydrophilic.
When used for cleaning, soap allows insoluble particles to become soluble in water and rinsed away. The insoluble fat molecules become associated inside micelles tiny spheres formed from soap molecules with polar hydrophilic groups on outside and lipophilic pocket which shields the fat molecule from the water making it soluble.
