Answer 2

HEYA MATE,

HERE IS UR ANSWER.

Thanks for asking this question.

One end of soap molecules love water - they are hydrophilic. The other end of soap molecues hate water - they are hydrophobic. Hydrophobic ends of soap molecule all attach to the oil. This is how soap cleans your hands - it causes drops of grease and dirt to be pulled off your hands and suspended in water.
