Question 18 1 / 1 pts

Detergents are best able to dissolve oil from fabric or dishes during
washing because

the negatively charged end is associated with a sphere of hydration, while


the positively charged end interacts with the oil droplet.

the charged end is associated with a sphere of hydration, while the
nonpolar end interacts with the oil droplet.
Send

because detergents are nonpolar, they increase the size of the oil droplet,
allowing the water to be more effective at removing the oil.

the nonpolar end is associated with a sphere of hydration, while the


charged end interacts with the oil droplet.

the positively charged end is associated with a sphere of hydration, while


the negatively charged end interacts with the oil droplet.
