1. Detergents help clean by dispersing fats and oils in water so that they can be rinsed away. What general chemical structures (for example, polar or nonpolar parts) must a soap or detergent have, and why

Respuesta :

Answer:

Detergents must have polar parts in their chemical structures.

Explanation:

Detergents and soaps are, in general, organic salts that contain a polar part capable of interacting and dissolving in water, which is why it is said to be a hydrophilic part, and the other apolar part, which is hydrophobic or lipophilic, that is, with a tendency to interact with fats and other nonpolar organic compounds.
