Most soaps are soluble sodium or potassium salts.
What is unique about the polarity(charge characteristics) of soap?
The soap molecules dissolve in water, forming an interesting structure. It forms a "my cell" which creates interactions of charged waters. The "my cells" form and than, go out into the water to wash your dishes, or your hands.
How does soap work?
Soap is made of potassium salts, and when those are mixed with water they dissolve and form into sodium and sterate ions. They dissolve in water because of the carbaxalate groups and these are "water lovers" while the opposite, hydrocarbon is "water fearing".
