Most scientists were intelligent enough to use the results of each other if there was any.I wasn't gonna sacrifice the microwave oven for something that I can just ask about.I bet you don't eat each plant that you see just so that you also could try weather it's poisonous or not.Grow up lil' girl!

It will expand. It won't turn into liquid, or explode. It is hard to explain what exactly it looks like, but it looks like a bunch of flakes the size of dimes, all clumped together almost.
It's actually quite interesting.
For those who answered under me -----
You are wrong, they don't melt, and it is not hard to clean. Not only have I seen videos of it (wich you can probably find doing a google.com search), I have done it myself.
No melting, guaranteed. Use a paper plate, though.

It depends on how much water is in the bar of soap. Microwaves are tuned to excite (or heat) water, the water in turn excites the soap molecules. If enough of the molecules are heated the soap will melt. If there isn’t a lot water in the soap and the water is trapped in the soap it maybe possible to super heat the water and super heat the soap in a location and cause a chemical reaction or degradation because of the high heat.

The best way to answer this is to try it yourself and see what happens. Scientists have been doing physical experiments for thousands of years to see for themselves the physical laws around us.
So get a small bar of soap, put it in a microwave-safe dish with a loose cover, and go for it.
Then when it has done whatever it does, figure out why it did what it did.
Then you REALLY learn something, and you'll never forget it.

the soap will become dehydrated and be kind of dry but not completely so that it couldn't be wiped out of the microwave or vacummed out but if someone adds water to get it out it gets a lot of soap in the microwave. so pretty much it makes a mess that is reallly hard to clean.

if it's a bar of glycerine soap (the clear stuff) it'll most definately melt. I'm pretty sure the other kind will also melt but much more slowly.

Your microwave will be extra clean.
