Soap bubbles form because of something called surface tension. Surface tension is caused by the molecules on the surface of a liquid sticking together. When you first put soap on your hands, the water molecules and soap molecules are mixed together and the surface tension is strong. However, as you rub your hands together, the soap molecules start to push the water molecules away. This makes it harder for the surface tension to hold the molecules together, so the bubbles start to disappear.
