Explanation:
The long hydrocarbon chain is hydrophobic (water-repelling), so the hydrocarbon part of soap molecule is insoluble in water but soluble in oil and grease. The ionic portion of the soap molecule is hydrophilic (water-attracting) due to the polar nature of water molecules.
Soap in the form of micelle cleans the (dirt) oil as the oil will be collected at the centre of micelle. This property of soap makes it an emulsifier. The dirt suspended in micelles is easily rinsed away. This is known as cleaning action of soap.
therefore statement 1 is correct and statement two is incorrect
