There is no such thing as a hydrophobic bond, It is a hydrophobic force. These forces come about when two areas of 2 different molecules containing hydrophobic sections come close together. like in protein's the hydrophilic sections come together to form bonds and the hydrophobic sections come together and so are seen as bonds but in reality they are not bonding but are just brought together to keep the hydrophobic parts away from aqueous environment (see lipid bi layers as an example)
the interaction between non-polar and polar substance is called hydrophobic interaction such as if oil and water is mixed together oil does not dissolve in water
A hydrophobic interaction refers to an interaction between polar and non-polar molecules. It is entropy-driven, thus this type of interaction is sensitive to temperature changes.
When non- polar molecules "shrink" from contact with water; they are considered hydrophobic. Hydrophobic means "water fearing", while polar molecules are hydrophilic, meaning "water loving".
Hydrophobic interactions are repulsive and hydrogen bonds are attractive forces. So, not sure hydrophobic interaction is classified as a "force" but rather and "interaction". Hydrogen bonds are relatively strong forces. It's really difficult to compare hydrophobic interaction with hydrogen bond because they are sort of opposite.
Actually ionic bonds would tend to be hydrophilic. Salts have ionic bonds and they dissolve rather well in water.
No. If oil did have a polar covalent bond, that would make it hydrophilic (attracted to water) and oil is hydrophobic (repels water). All the covalent bonds in the hydrocarbon tails are non-polar covalent.
Nonpolar means hydrophobic.
All Lipids are hydrophobic: that's the one property they have in common. This group of molecules includes fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, steroids and cholesterol.

There is no chemical bond as such between lipid bi-layers. A chemical bond would not allow the membrane to be flexible and dynamic. The two layers are held together through hydrophobic interactions

Cholesterol has many hydrophobic side chains and a single hydrophilic side chain. Because it contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, it is amphipathic.yes cholesterol Hydrophobic , choestol not soluble in water
hydrophobic
Hydrophobic means that the molecule is repelled by water. You can tell if a molecule is hydrophobic by the way the atoms are arranged.
Nonpolar means hydrophobic.
