Why is it a good idea to wear rubber gloves when washing dishes?

Because detergent is a phospholipid-like molecule, meaning the the head is hyrophillic (attracted to water) and the tail is hyrdophobic (doesn't like water). Water is highly polar so when you add detergent the heads will attract to the water molecule. However the tails will try to stick to something that isn't water. (like your hands) So when the heads get pulled they pull whatever the tails are attached to aswell, so you'll notice sometimes that your hands become dry.
Hope this helped :)

What would happen if you wore a gold ring when washing dishes?
Most of the time you can wear a gold ring when washing dishes and nothing will happen to it, except that it may possibly get cleaner as a result. However it is also possible that the ring may slip off your finger and into the sink, and might even go down the drain by accident, which is why it is generally a good idea to remove your jewelry before washing dishes.
