Question

State True or False:

Statement : The polar end in soap is called hydrophilic end.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The soap molecule is very long. One end is polar (unequal sharing of electrons) and the other end is not (equal sharing of electrons). The polar end grabs onto a water molecule hence called hydrophilic. Hence the given statement is true.
