Is silicon hydrophobic?
It depends on the surface status of the silicon. Bare silicon surface without any chemical termination is 'hydrophobic'. But this is very unstable status and it is very easily oxidized forming native SiO2 layer in the air which is 'hydrophilic'. Chemical treatment to make silicon surface hydrogen terminated will make it hydrophobic; while surface with OH termination will make it hydrophilic.
What is a hydrophobic compound?
A hydrophobic compound is one that will not dissolve in water, and, if the compound is solid, one on which a drop of liquid water will not spread spontaneously over the surface.
What is the name of the black coating that forms on the surface of the copper?
Copper oxide
Is the phosphate group hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
How is copper extracted by phytomining?
by getting a plant and using it to get the metal closer to the surface

What what is the function of a 'hydrophobic island' on the surface of a protein?
These are called hydrophobic patches. They are frequently involved in recognition and binding of ligands and other proteins.
Is triglyceride hydrophobic?
yes

Is copper dull on the surface?
After my opinion the fresh surface of copper is not dull.
Would you find hydrophillic or hydrophobic amino acids on the external surface of a protein a protein?
Hydrophobic amino acids would be on the external surface of a protein. This is because these are the types of amino acids that help bind things together.
In order for a protein to be an integral membrane protein it would have to be what?
the whole protein must be amphipathic but the surface itself must be hydrophobic.
What are hydrophobic plants?
Hydrophobic plants are plants which have leaves which repel water. This causes the water tension to increase, so a sort of 'bubble' of water is formed on the leaf surface.
What type of amino acid side chain would you expect to find on the surface of a protein embedded in a cell membrane?
hydrophobic, if the protein in the cell membrane is completely in, it means it is hydrophobic, therefore the amino acid chain is also hydrophobic.
What is happening when copper turns green?
On the copper surface basic copper carbonate is formed.
What is the name of the black coating that forms on the surface of the copper?
Copper oxide
Iron plus copper sulphate equals iron sulphate plus copper - what change would you see on the surface of the nail?
The copper will appear on the surface of the nail, so it will be different in colour-it'll be like copper.
