What does the science term called like dissolves like mean?
"Like Dissolves Like" is a concept in chemistry discribing hydrophobic (nonpolar) and hydrophilic (polar) interactions. Polar molecules, in order to reduce unfavorable interactions that require free energy to compensate for, tend to associate with other polar molecules. Non-polar molecules, likewise, associate with other nonpolar molecules. The terms hydrophobic and hydrophilic are used to describe a molecules tendency to associate with water. Polar molecules, using the "like dissolves like" concept associate with water, while nonpolar molecules tend to reduce interactions with water.
Nonpolar organic molecules are good examples of?
hydrophilic compound
What part of the fatty acid is hydrophilic?
A fatty acid consists of the polar acidic -COOH functional group and the non-polar alkyl CnH2n+1 chain, which in most cases, n=15-18. A triglyceride consists of distinct hydrophillic (glycerol) and hydrophobic (fatty acid) sections, but to answer your question, the fatty acid itself has a hydrophillic part which is the -COOH group.
What are polar drugs and non polar drugs?
The process of metabolism transforms lipophilic drugs into more polar(hydrophilic), readily excretable products.
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Lipids are hydrophobic. This quality means that they repel water rather than draw it in.
Can hydrophilic molecules readily move unaided into and out of cells?
no

What is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
What molecules are both hydrophilic and hydropobic.
Function of hydrophilic region?
The hydrophilic region in the cell is "water-loving" and it attracts the water molecules. It is basically composed of polar groups which readily dissolve and absorb water.
How does hydrophobic and hydrophilic behaves in water?
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...
Which molecules are able to interact with water?
Hydrophilic molecules
Is the polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
A polar molecule is hydrophilic, which means that it will easily dissolve in water. Examples of hydrophilic molecules are sugars and salts.
Is sodium hydroxide hydrophilic?
Sodium Hydroxide is hydrophilic. It is an ionic compound and will readily dissolve in water forming Na+ and OH- ions.
What does hydrophilic mean and how do you determine if a molecule is hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic, or 'water loving' refers to molecules that are easily miscible in water. Polar molecules and ionic compounds are generally hydrophilic, and non-polar molecules are generally hydrophobic.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about how to determine if a molecule is non-polar, polar, or ionic.
What is the difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules nd hydrophilic c?
Hydrophobic is when something repels water and hydrophilic is when something attracts water.
What is the difference of hydrophobic molecules from hydrophilic molecules?
see Related Answers. Thank You
Is sugar hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic molecules are those that dissolve in or interact with water. Hydrophilic molecules include carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, salts and metabolic molecules like glucose and amino acids. The fatty component of lipids [fats and oils], the -CH2- tail, is strictly hydrophobic.
