Which dish detergent breaks up oil the best?
Like dissolves like. Water and oil do not mix because water molecules are polar (i.e., having either a positive or negative charge) and oil molecules are non-polar. Detergent molecules have a polar end and a non-polar end; think of a jellyfish with its head representing the polar side and its tails representing the non-polar end. In water, detergent molecules group themselves to form cage-like micelles, exposing the polar heads to water and shielding the non-polar tails. Detergent's non-polar ends stick to oil, and the detergent's polar head is soluble in water. With sufficient amount of detergent, the detergent molecules trap the oil molecules in cage-like micelles that are soluble in water. Rinse off the detergent with trapped oil and wallah! No more oil and grease! :-)

What happens when you mix laundry detergent and water?
When you mix laundry detergent and water, the detergent molecules attach to dirt and oil particles, breaking them up and making them easier to wash away. This process is known as emulsification, where the detergent helps to lift and suspend dirt in the water to be rinsed away.
