both, the water is polar and the chemicals are non polar
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! :-)
there is no such thing as a non polar end, the whole molecule is either polar or nonpolar. in a polar molecule, the negative end has the purpose of being attracted and combining with the positive end of another polar molecule; if that's what you meant.
Nonpolar
It is non-polar
Do you know the phrase " Like dissolves like "? it means that polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and non-polar substances dissolve non-polar substances. Oil is non-polar, while water is a polar substance. To help oil and water mix, molecules of a detergent have two halves- the hydrophilic half and the hydrophobic half. The hydrophilic part of the molecule is polar, which dissolves water molecules. The hydrophobic part is non-polar, so it dissolves the oil molecules. So, basically, detergent can dissolve both oil and water, mixing them effectively.

Yes, Dawn dish detergent is non-ionic. Non-ionic surfactants are gentle on skin and provide good cleaning power without producing excessive foam. Dawn is widely used in households for dishwashing due to its effectiveness and mildness.

Yes, by adding a surfactant which is detergent. it acts by attaching the polar water with its head and the non polar oil by its tail. so they mix
It has to be a non detergent oil
