Soap vs detergent visualizer

Visual comparison of soap (carboxylate head) vs detergent (sulfonate head) structure, interactive hard water test showing scum vs no scum, step-by-step micelle formation animation, and a side-by-side comparison table covering head group, hard water action, biodegradability, cost, and typical use.

Chemistry in Everyday Life

Soap vs Detergent Visualizer

Explore the structural differences between soap and detergent, see the hard water test, visualise micelle formation step by step, and compare their properties.

Soap Molecule

-COO⁻ Na⁺

Hydrophilic head

Carboxylate group (-COO⁻)

Ionic; dissolves in water

Hydrophobic tail

Long hydrocarbon chain (C12-C18)

From natural fats / oils

Ca2+ reacts with -COO- to form insoluble calcium soaps (scum) in hard water.

Detergent Molecule

-SO₃⁻ Na⁺

Hydrophilic head

Sulfonate group (-SO₃⁻)

Ionic; dissolves in water

Hydrophobic tail

Long hydrocarbon chain (C12-C18)

From petroleum derivatives

-SO3- forms soluble calcium sulfonates in hard water. Works effectively.
