Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of a soap molecule is to be drawn and the way in which its structure is related to its function is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Separation of electric charge into a negatively charged end and into a positively charged end is called polarity.
Soap is defined in terms of salts of fatty acid. Soap molecules act as surfactants and emulsifiers, used for household purposes.
