Fatty acids are the molecules consist of the carboxylic group with long alphabetical chain, those occurring as esters in fats and oils.
Sopanification is the process used for the preparation of soaps. Soaps are the derivatives of fatty acids.
A colloid or micelles like solution is formed by dirt and grease mixed with water.
The basic structure of all soaps is the same they contain lipids, lipids are a mixture of salts and fatty acids. Soaps contain two various ends one is hydrophilic end it binds with water.
Another one is the hydrophobic end, it binds with grease and oil.
theme soaps are biodegradable not all because soaps contain organic compounds they react with salts so they are soluble in water that's why they are biodegradable.
