Alkali metal attached to a fatty acid. Some alkali metals are: Lithium, Sodium, Potassium. The alkali metal end dissolves in water and the fatty acid end dissolves in oils and some dirt, making it possible for the water to wash off the oil and dirt.

Neither. Soap is a solution composed of several different compounds.
atom
Lipids dissolve in soap because soap molecules have both polar and nonpolar components. The nonpolar tail of the soap molecule can interact with the nonpolar parts of the lipid molecules, while the polar head of the soap molecule can interact with water, allowing the lipids to be surrounded and solubilized in water.
Yes, sodium soap is soluble in water due to the hydrophilic properties of the sodium ions in the soap molecule. The long hydrocarbon chain in the soap molecule is hydrophobic and dissolves grease and oils, allowing them to be rinsed away with water.
A molecule is the representative particle of a molecular compound. Molecules don't have representative particles, they are one.
A molecule, SO2
Soap, no matter how good a soap is, is soap. The pH will never change in relation to the quality of soap. It is a 'basic' pH'ed molecule (NaOH).
Neither. Soap is a solution composed of several different compounds.
atom
The structure of the hemoglobin in a molecule is the quaternary structure.
Lipids dissolve in soap because soap molecules have both polar and nonpolar components. The nonpolar tail of the soap molecule can interact with the nonpolar parts of the lipid molecules, while the polar head of the soap molecule can interact with water, allowing the lipids to be surrounded and solubilized in water.
the structure of a molecule affects how it interacts with other molecules -apex
A water molecule (H2O) contain two hydrogen atoms.
Yes, sodium soap is soluble in water due to the hydrophilic properties of the sodium ions in the soap molecule. The long hydrocarbon chain in the soap molecule is hydrophobic and dissolves grease and oils, allowing them to be rinsed away with water.
I'd need to know the specific molecule you're referring to in order to provide its chemical structure. Each molecule has a unique arrangement of atoms and bonds.
The term for the simplest representative particle in a compound composed of nonmetal atoms is a molecule. A molecule consists of two or more nonmetal atoms chemically bonded together.
