SOAP
Soap is the sodium salt of long chain fatty acids that has cleansing property in water.
Saponification:
The process by which soap is prepared by the reaction of animal or plant fat with sodium hydroxide solution is saponification.
Process of formation of soap:
Soap is prepared by boiling animal fats or vegetables oil with sodium hydroxide . The fats or oils react with alkali or sodium hydroxide to form soap and glycerol.Glycerol is the trihydric alcohol.
Fat or Oil + Sodium hydroxide→ Soap +Glycerol


DETERGENT
A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleaning properties in dilutesolutions.These substances are usually alkylbenzenesulfonates, a family of compounds that are similar to soap but are more soluble in hard water, because the polar sulfonate (of detergents) is less likely than the polar carboxylate (of soap) to bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water.

Detergents are classified into three broad groupings, depending on the electrical charge of the surfactants.
1)Anionic detergents
2)Cationic detergents
3)Non-ionic and zwitterionic detergents

I hope it is helpful for you

Answer:

Soap is the sodium salt of long chain fatty acids that has cleansing property in water. Soap is prepared by boiling animal fats or vegetables oil with sodium hydroxide . ... Detergents are the sodium salts of long chain benzene sulphonic acid or long chain alkyl benzene sulphate which has more cleansing property in water.

Explanation:

Soaps:

Soapnut powder has been in use for almost 3,000 years. And still in many parts of India, soap nut powder is using as a natural soap to remove oil.

Soap is a sodium salt or potassium salt of long chain fatty acids having cleansing action in water. They are using as cleansing agents to remove dirt, oil from the skin and clothes.

Examples:

Sodium stearate, sodium oliate and sodium palmitate formed using stearic acid oleic acid and palmitic acid.

Detergents:

Detergents have almost the same properties as soaps but they are more effective in hard water. Detergents are generally ammonium or sulphonate salts of long chain carboxylic acids. The charged ends of these compounds do not form insoluble precipitates with the calcium and magnesium ions in water.
