Which part of a soap molecule attracts oil and dirt?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Hydrophobic tail

The hydrophobic tail of a soap molecule is a long hydrocarbon chain that is attracted to non-polar substances such as oil and grease. Its hydrophilic head remains in water. Thus, the tails surround the oily dirt to form micelles, which are washed away with water. Exam tip: the part that attaches to oil is the hydrophobic tail.
