Soap is made of molecules with atoms that share electrons equally at one end and atoms that have a slight charge at the other end. Which could be soluble in soap?

Soap has both a polar end and a nonpolar end. Thus, it maybe soluble to most of the substances. It exhibits both properties of non-polar and polar molecules. The hydrocarbon chain is the non-polar side while the salt end is the polar end.
