A soap molecule consists of a polar ionic hydrophilic (water "loving") end, which is shown in blue in the structure above, and a non-polar hydrophobic (water "hating") end, which is the hydrocarbon chain shown in red above.

Explanation:
A soap molecule has two parts: the long-chain organic part and the ionic part containing the −COO − Na + group. It has to be remembered that this is not an ion, the atoms are all covalently bonded, the electrical charges show how the charges get polarized in the group. A soap molecule has a tadpole-like structure.
