Chemistry of Soap
Getting Down and Dirty
Differences in Electronegativity
• If the difference in electronegativity is ___________ between two elements in a bond then an ____________ bond is formed. If the difference is _________________ ______________ then the bond formed is __________________. This difference in electronegativity also generates _______________in the molecule or compound. The more electronegative end has a partial ___________________ charge and the other end is slightly more ____________________.
A Bit of Polarity = A Cleaner Tomorrow
• _____________________ is what is responsible for the chemical qualities of soap.
• The strength of the bond __________________ as the electronegativity difference _____________________.
• Soap is formed by combining ________________ with ____________________________ (lye or caustic soda).
• When the chemical reaction is complete, _________ and ______________are the products. One end of the soap is sticky or ______________-. This is also called __________________. The other end is ___________or water-hating. Another word for this is _______________. The sticky end is attracted to __________________ while the non-sticky end is attracted to _______________________ ends.
What is Soap Made Of?
• Soaps are made of molecules that are both ________ and ______________. The molecule has a long _________________ tail that allows it to dissolve grease, and a _________________ that is water soluble.
Soap!
• A soap molecule. The grey, red, and white spheres represent ______________, _____________, and _______________ atoms, respectively. The sodium ion near the negatively charged oxygen atoms is ______________________-.
• The head is the sodium or potassium salt of an ______________________.
• How do you make a soap molecule? _____________________ contains them, chemically bound to a small three-armed molecule called _______________. The links between each of the _____________ molecules and the _______________ are easily broken in a ___________________ solution:
Animal Fat ‘glycerol’
• This reaction was used to make ________ by treating animal fat with _____________ (which contain a high concentration of _________________________________) long before the chemistry of the process was understood.
