Why detergent makes bubbles?

Answer 1

Detergents and other soaps work to clean things because the molecules each have a side that's hydrophilic, or attracted to water, and a side that's hydrophobic, meaning it helps water grab onto things it wouldn't normally otherwise grab onto. Bubbles are formed with a film of water surrounded by two layers of soap, with the hydrophilic side facing inward and the hydrophobic side on the outside.

Answer 3

Most dish detergents are a type of compound known as a surfactant. Surfactant molecules generally have a structure which is amphipathic, it consists of at least two different parts: one part which is hydrophilic and another which is lipophilic - water-loving and fat-loving respectively. Within a specific concentration range, these compounds group into spheroidal micelles, which are maintained by chemical potental of the system and the surface interaction of the detergent molecules.

In soap bubbles, which are filled with gas rather than liquid, however, the surface interactions help to stabilize the sphere by increasing the surface tension. The greater the surface interaction between the molecules that compose the bubble the greater the surface tension and the more likely a bubble is to be larger and last longer. Thus, the number of observed bubbles at any time is more likely to be higher as well.

So, it seems likely that the Dawn dish detergent may have surfactants that have more intermolecular interaction with each other or perhaps more with water than other dish soaps and betters stabilizes the bubbles, which leads to more bubbles.

Answer 4

It is actually a simple answer. Detergent is a type of soap which is catagorized as a hydrophotine. Therefore Detergent is also a hydrophotine, which means it will foam or as you say "bubble" when rubbed because of the hydrophotine effect.
