One similarity of soaps and detergents is that they have long hydrocarbon tails and polar heads. Hydrocarbon tails make the greasy dirt soluble in water while the polar heads make it compatible with water.
They are alike in their chemical properties.
Answer 2:
They are both surfactants, with molecules that have both a hydrophyllic and a hydrophobic "end" that allows non-polar compounds to become suspended in polar compounds, i.e. "oil and water mixing."
These are compounds in which one end of the molecule is "hydrophilic"- that is has an affinity for water, while the other end is "hydrophobic", which has an attraction for non-water soluble dirt. This way the hydrophobic end grabs the dirt, and the hydrophilic end gets taken up by water so it can be washed away. Soap is quite low in toxicity. A detergent is a product that contains surfactants and other ingredients. Surfactants, short for surface-active agents, reduce the surface tension of water, making it easier for the water to penetrate and carry away dirt. Detergents are relatively low in toxicity, but a significant number of nonfatal poisonings do occur each year. They are also irritating or sometimes corrosive to the eyes. Some surfactants are toxic to fish, and shouldn't be discharged directly to surface waters.
The methods are similar but the starting materials are usually very different. Both can be made from strong alkalis (like NaOH and KOH), but soaps use long chain carboxylic acids (usually from hydrolyzed fats) and detergents usually use sulphonic acids or other materials.
Soaps, detergents and shampoos are basic materials.
Examples: soaps, shampoo, detergents, denatured alcohol etc.
An advantage of detergent is that is cleans things. If its laundry detergent it helps clean clothes. If its dish detergent it helps clean dishes. A disadvantage of a detergent is that it is not biodegradable. They have a hydrocarbon chain which makes it biodegradable.

Some uses of salt include: eating, manufacturing paper, setting dyes in textiles and fabrics, and producing soaps and detergents.
They are the same thing, just with differing names. Soaps are detergents and detergents are soaps. The names have become associated with their different uses. Soaps are now primarily used to refer to soaps/detergents used on the body, while detergents have comes to mean soaps/detergents used for things other than cleansing the body, such as dish detergents.
Soaps get precipitated as insoluble calcium and magnesium soaps in hard water but detergents do not. Therefore, soaps but not synthetic detergents can be used to check the hardness of water.

Soaps and detergents act differently in hard water and soft water respectively..over use of detergents causes water pollution wich can be avoided by using soaps...........wich causes much less pollution.
The advantages of synthetic detergents over soaps are :Synthetic detergents can be used even in case of hard water whereas soaps fail to do so. Unlike soaps, detergents do not form insoluble calcium and magnesium salts in hard water. They give lather in hard water also.Synthetic detergents can be used in the acidic medium while soaps fail to do so because of their hydrolysis to free acids.Synthetic detergents are soluble in water and hence form more lather than soaps.Synthetic detergents have a better cleansing action than soaps.Detergents do not cause irritation to the skin while soaps have this problem.
