Answer:

Soaps are made from natural ingredients, such as plant oils (coconut, vegetable, palm, pine) or acids derived from animal fat. Detergents, on the other hand, are synthetic, man-made derivatives.

Advantages of detergent: Detergent cleans more effectively in hard water than soap. Detergent cleans more effectively in hard water than soap. Hard water contains calcium and magnesium ions that limit soap's cleaning capabilities.

Advantages of soap: Soap is cheaper and readily available. Soaps are 100% biodegradable, i.e., decomposed by micro-organisms present in sewage, therefore, they do not create water pollution.

A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleansing properties in dilute solutions whereas Soap is a mixture of sodium salts of various naturally occurring fatty acids.

Examples  of detergents are octyl thioglucoside and maltosides

Examples of soap  are: Sodium stearate, sodium oliate 

Detergent cleans more effectively in hard water than soap. Hard water contains calcium and magnesium ions that limit soap's cleaning capabilities. When combined with soap, hard water develops a type of film that leaves a deposit on clothes or skin that does not easily rinse away.
