Water would not be able to for hydrogen bonds
water would not be able to climb up inside plants Apex
A molecule that is both hydrophobic and polar has a nonpolar region that repels water (hydrophobic) and a polar region that interacts with water (polar). This unique combination of properties allows the molecule to dissolve in both water and nonpolar solvents.
A nonpolar liquid cannot dissolve polar molecules.
water would not be able to form hydrogen bonds (wrong)Apex - Water would not rise inside plants :P
Water and oil have different properties because they are made up of different molecules. Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a positive and negative end, which allows it to dissolve other polar substances. Oil, on the other hand, is a nonpolar molecule, so it does not mix well with water. This difference in molecular structure leads to their distinct behaviors and properties.
I will assume Hsub2O is H2O [water] Water is a polar molecule.

Molecules with polar hydrophobic properties have a nonpolar region that repels water and a polar region that interacts with water. This creates a molecule that is both attracted to and repelled by water, making it hydrophobic.
A nonpolar liquid cannot dissolve polar molecules.
Nonpolar molecules are generally not soluble in water because water is a polar molecule and like dissolves like.
A molecule is polar if it has a positive and negative end, while being hydrophobic means it repels water. To be both polar and hydrophobic, a molecule must have a polar region that interacts with water and a nonpolar region that repels water. This dual nature allows the molecule to be both attracted to and repelled by water.
