A negative charge, as do all phosphate groups.
Phosphate is hydrophilic, meaning it has an affinity for water and can dissolve in it. This is because phosphate groups contain polar covalent bonds that can interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding.
The phosphate group in a phospholipid is polar and hydrophilic, making it interact with water. This property allows phospholipids to form bilayers in cell membranes, with the hydrophobic tails pointing inward and the hydrophilic heads interacting with the surrounding fluids. This structure is essential for maintaining the integrity and function of cell membranes.
No, you do not have that quite correct. A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).
The phosphate portion of a phospholipid is hydrophilic, meaning it interacts readily with water due to its polar nature. It is located on the head of the phospholipid molecule, along with other polar groups, forming the hydrophilic "head" of the molecule. This is in contrast to the nonpolar hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid, which cluster together in the interior of cell membranes away from water.

The head (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.
The phosphate head group of a phospholipid is charged or polar. It contains a negatively charged phosphate group and is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water.
