Lactic acid is a polar molecule. It contains both polar (-OH) and nonpolar (CH3) groups, but the presence of the polar -OH groups makes it an overall polar molecule.


Is phosphate group non-polar?

No, a phosphate group is polar due to the presence of electronegative oxygen atoms. It contains both polar and nonpolar characteristics because of its negative charge and the nonpolar hydrophobic tails in biological molecules it can interact with.

What are the properties of a molecule that is both hydrophobic and polar?

A molecule that is both hydrophobic and polar has a nonpolar region that repels water (hydrophobic) and a polar region that interacts with water (polar). This unique combination of properties allows the molecule to dissolve in both water and nonpolar solvents.
