What are substance that are water loving called?
Hydrophilic (water loving)
When a substance repels water such as oil and water it is said to be?
Hydrophobic.
What name is given to substances that dissolve easily in water hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic means that a substance has an affinity for/attraction to water. It binds with water easily. [It is the opposite of hydrophobic, where a substance has an aversion for water. It forms droplets in water (like oil).]
A substance that's attracted to water molecules is called hydrophobic actinitis centrioles microtubules?
None of those seems like a particularly good answer.
What is the name of things that are insoluble in water?
Things that are insoluble in water are called hydrophobes or hydrophobic.
Is hydrophilic the same as hydrophobic?
hydrophilic - loves water hydrophobic - repels water
How would you define hydrophobic substance?

When a substance doesnt dissolve in water what is it said to be?
This substance is insoluble in water.
Why do hydrophobic substances dissolve in water?
It depends on the physical properties of the substance. Sometimes heating a hydrophobic substance can increase solubility. Also, heating may cause the substance to denature and dissolve. In the case of proteins, proteins can contain many hydrophobic parts but still be soluble in water. However, hydrophobic substances do not typically dissolve in water, due to the polar nature of water. Typically, scientists use the word "hydrophobic" only to describe substances that have a negligible solubility in water. You may have meant to ask "why do hydrophilic substances dissolve in water".
Are hydrophilic substances attracted to water?
No. Hydrophobic literally means "afraid of water," so they will repel each other, most likely because the other substance is non-polar.
When substance attracted to water is called?
A substance that attracts water molecules is hydrophillic, hydro meaning water and phillic meaning attracted to. The opposite would be hydrophobic, hydro meaning water and phobic meaning scared of.
A substance that's attracted to water molecules is called hydrophobic actinitis centrioles microtubules?
None of those seems like a particularly good answer.
Which substance will form a solution when mixed in liquid water?
A large hydrophobic protein.
