Laundry detergents are all mixtures of things, so there is no "chemical formula" for a given washing soap. Apologies, but this probably doesn't help. In general, these soaps contain surfactants, which are usually amphiphilic organic compounds. (There are quite a few different ones, each with a different chemical formula. And a given soap will have several different ones blended in.) The term amphiphilic means that the chemical structure has two distinct parts, one that reacts well with organic solvents (like oils) and one that reacts well with water. We know that oil and water don't get along, but these compounds have structures that hook up with oils and also hook up with water. That is what makes them effective in removing stuff from clothing to get it clean. There are usually a handful of things in soap. See the Related Link below for more information.

The two words can be used interchangeably in everyday conversation (I have heard both 'laundry soap' and 'laundry detergent' used).
