Hydrophilic substances incline to get together with polar substances like water or some ions while hydrophobic substances tend to get together with nonpolar substances like organic compounds.
You can understand these identities by imagining that the more two substances are likely in polarity, the eaiser they get together, because they are fit in electic charges so that the energy of the mixture system is lower. Though this theory is rough, hope it can help you underdstand the the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic.

What is the difference between hydro and hypo?
Hydro- refers to water or liquid, while hypo- means below or less than. For example, dehydration is a condition where the body lacks adequate water (hydro-), while hypoglycemia is a condition with lower-than-normal blood sugar levels (hypo-).
What does hydrophobic mean?
Hydrophobic literally means "fear of water." It's used in chemistry to refer to "greasy" molecules (the opposite term is "hydrophilic", which means "water-loving") that don't dissolve readily in water. In medicine, it's an old term for rabies, which as one of its effects makes it painful to swallow; an animal with rabies often avoids water despite being thirsty because swallowing hurts so much.
Is hydro peroxide the same as hydrogen peroxide?
No, hydrogen peroxide is two hydroxyl groups (OH) with bounded oxygens. Hydroperoxide is a deprotonated version (one of the OH's is an O- instead). However they usually exist together as the deprotonation occurs easily in the presence of water.
What is a hydro phobic tail?
a tail composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Properties of a hydrocarbon tail include hydrophobic, non-polar and predominantly Van der Waals forces. an example is in the phospholipid bilayer.
What is the chemical formula of hydro-sulfuric acid?
I think it is (HSO4)- H30+
When substance attracted to water is called?
A substance that attracts water molecules is hydrophillic, hydro meaning water and phillic meaning attracted to. The opposite would be hydrophobic, hydro meaning water and phobic meaning scared of.
What term means hydrophobic and hydrophillic?
Hydro means water, phobic means to hate and philic means to love, so hydrophobic are those substances which do not dissolve in water and hydrophilic are those which easily become dissolve in water.
Why is cellulose hydrophilic while rubber is hydrophobic?
Cellulose contains many hydroxyl (-OH) groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, making it hydrophilic. In contrast, rubber is composed of long hydrocarbon chains that do not readily interact with water, rendering it hydrophobic.
What is the difference between hydrophillic and hydrophobic molecules?
Hydrophobic molecules do not come in contact with water; they "fear" water (root word, phobic). Hydrophilic molecules, on the other hand, do come in contact with water; they "love" water (root word, philic). [hydro means water]
What compounds are hydrophilic attracted to?
Hydro- refers to water and -philic refers to "liking" or attraction.
What is the difference between Hydro Electricity and Wave Power?
Yes, hydro come from the Greek word for water, and wave power is classed as hydro power. Other kinds of hydro power are produced from the movement of water through dams, tides and rivers.
What are the limitations of hydro power for Singapore?
Singapore is fairly flat, whereas to use hydro power you need a difference of height between the water stored and the turbine plant.
What is the root word of hydro?
It means water, some examples... hydrophobic: water-hater hydrophilic: water-loving
What is the meaning of Gross head in hydro power projects?
it is the difference in elevation between head and tail water
Difference between 1950s toaster and present day toaster?
Hydro was much cheaper in the 1950's :)
What is the difference between small hydro power and large hydro power?
Large hydro power would be a dam in a river, storing water and generating electricity for agricultural, industrial and domestic use. Small hydro power systems could be as small as a turbine in a stream providing electricity to a single farm.
Why is the fat-loving part of a emulsifer called the hydrophobic end?
"Hydro" means water and "phobic" means "to fear." So the fat-loving side doesn't like water and will want to interact with fat.
