It depends on the surface status of the silicon.
Bare silicon surface without any chemical termination is 'hydrophobic'. But this is very unstable status and it is very easily oxidized forming native SiO2 layer in the air which is 'hydrophilic'.
Chemical treatment to make silicon surface hydrogen terminated will make it hydrophobic; while surface with OH termination will make it hydrophilic.
Yes, halides can contain silicon. Silicon can form halides by combining with elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine to create silicon halides. Examples of silicon halides include silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) and silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4).
Yes, hexane is hydrophobic as it can not make hydrogen bonds with water.
Silicon itself is odorless. However, certain compounds containing silicon, such as silane or silicon tetrachloride, have distinct, unpleasant smells.
Silicon tetrachloride is the name of the compound SiCl4.
How many silicon atoms are in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?i am thinking about 4..
Cholesterol has many hydrophobic side chains and a single hydrophilic side chain. Because it contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, it is amphipathic.yes cholesterol Hydrophobic , choestol not soluble in water
hydrophobic
Hydrophobic describes molecules that are repelled by water. You can determine if a molecule is hydrophobic by looking at its structure - if it contains mostly nonpolar covalent bonds or hydrophobic functional groups (e.g. alkyl groups), it is likely to be hydrophobic. Additionally, hydrophobic molecules tend to aggregate together in water due to the hydrophobic effect.
Hydrophobic.
One can create hydrophobic water by adding a hydrophobic substance, such as a surfactant or a hydrophobic coating, to the water. This substance will repel water molecules, causing the water to exhibit hydrophobic properties.
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.
yes it is!!! it has an hydrophobic permeability barrier predominantly in phospholipids
No. Hydrophobic is a concept or symptom, not a substance as lipids are.
The molecule is nonpolar and hydrophobic.
Cysteine is considered hydrophobic.
Hydrophobic substances are nonpolar.
This depends on type of fiber.
