Answer:
1.The head of the molecule is attracted to water (hydrophilic) and the tail is attracted to grease and dirt (hydrophobic).
2.The attractive forces between the head groups and the water are so strong that the grease is lifted away from the surface
3.The tail of detergent molecules also help to make the washing process more effective by reducing the surface tension of the water.
4.Bubbles and soap films are made of a thin layer of water, sandwiched between two layers of soap molecules.
