soaps are the sodium salts of fatty acids. The molecular formula of soap is CH3COONa. In this the CH3COO part is partially positive and Na is partially negative so they attract each other ,hence they are bound together

If polar and nonpolar solutions are mixed together they will form what?
In polar and nonpolar substance in mixed together if they are said to be
What polar molecules are attracted to water?
Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.
Is bacteria and virus polar or non polar?
Bacteria and viruses are not molecules and are neither polar nor nonpolar. The contain both polar and nonpolar molecules.
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
What molecule would mix best with water?
Polar Molecules

Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What molecules are not attracted to polar molecules?
Nonpolar
What type of molecules mix the best with water?
Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.
How does laundry detergent work on a molecular level?
The molecule that makes up soap or detergent has a polar head and a nonpolar tail. In chemistry, compounds that are polar like to mix with other polar compounds and compounds that are nonpolar like to mix with other nonpolar compounds. This is why oil and water don't mix. Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. Oil and grease are a nonpolar compounds. When in water the soap molecules will arrange themselves in such a way that the nonpolar tails surround the grease creating a spherical droplet. On the face of this sphere is the polar heads of the soap molecule. This allows it to interact with the polar water. This is how soap and laundry detergent are able to remove oil and grease and wash it down the drain.
What are the physical differences between polar and nonpolar molecules?
polarity... polar is the mid- range; nonpolar is the least polar.
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
What molecule would mix best with water?
Polar Molecules
A molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends?
It is called polar
Are all hydrocarbons polar molecules?
Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules.
