How does hydrophobic and hydrophilic behaves in water?

Answer 1

hydrophilic substances are electrically polar in character, they possess a dipole. Intermolecular forces associated with this polarity attract (or are attracted by) the polar water molecules. Having sufficient energy, the water molecules can interpose themselves between and eventually surround the hydrophilic substance thus reducing the repulsive intermolecular forces acting between these hydrophilic molecules in their pure state...

Energy and Entropy effects are driving the process...

Answer 2

Hydrophobic molecules are non-polar and repel water, causing them to clump together and form separate phases in water. Hydrophilic molecules are polar and interact with water molecules, often dissolving or dispersing in water due to their attractive interactions. This difference in behavior is based on the polarity of the molecules and their interactions with water molecules.

Answer 3

Hydrophobic molecules, as the name describes with the suffix (Phobic, meaning fear) Tend to avoid contact or mixing with water. Hydrophillic molecules mix readily.

Answer 4

A hydrophobic [Latin-water fearing/hating] substance will not dissolve in water; whereas the hydrophilic [water loving] substance will dissolve.

Answer 5

Hydrophilic molecules attract toward water.Hydrophobic molecules move away from water.
