Heya...
✌here is your answer✌
Chemical composition of detergents:
They consist of potassium or sodium salts of long chain sulphonic acid.
They are amphiphilic: partly hydrophilic (polar, the acid part) and partly hydrophobic (non-polar, the long alkyl chain). Their dual nature facilitates the mixture of hydrophobic compounds (like oil and grease) with water.
One example of detergent is given below:

Shall I write this answer in my 10th board exam? My teacher told me to write that detergents are ammonium or sulphonate salts of long chain carboxylic acids.

Detergent is an emulsifying agent that is scientifically referred to as sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate and has a chemical formula of C18H29NaO3S. This chemical compound has an incredible foaming ability, and can be easily compounded with various other additives.
