The abundance of nonpolar functional groups give lipids a degree of hydrophobic (“water fearing”) character and most lipids have low solubility in water.
Due to the hydrophobic nature of lipids/nonpolar compounds, this made me wonder about the composition of soap. I wonder how the nonpolar + polar properties interact in soap so that it still interacts with water, but not the extent of complete repulsion or dissociation in water.
