Is silica hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
It is hydrophilic
Is CH3 hydrophobic?
methyl is hydrophobic because it is non polar. the c-h bonds have little electronegativity difference I believe. water is polar, and nonpolar things don't tend to react or dissolve in polar substances.
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Lipids are hydrophobic. This quality means that they repel water rather than draw it in.
Is acrylic acid hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

hydrophilic
What are two parts of lipid?
A head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic (polar) and the tail is hydrophobic (nonpolar) .
What is an amphipath?
Amphipathic means both polar and nonpolar. The molecule has a polar end that is attracted to water and a nonpolar end that is repelled by it.
What are two main parts of lipid?

What group does the polar end of a phospholipid contain?

Is hydrophilic the same as hydrophobic?
hydrophilic - loves water hydrophobic - repels water

Is starch hydrophobic?
Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.
