What else can I help you with?
Large molecules may have reaction sites termed -----because they are attracted to water?
Hydrophilic sites. These sites are attracted to water molecules due to their polarity and can interact with the surrounding water molecules.
What does attracted to water molecules mean?
Being attracted to water molecules means that a substance has an affinity or ability to adhere to or mix well with water. This attraction can be due to the presence of polar or hydrophilic functional groups that interact favorably with water molecules.
What do hydrophobic molecules avoid?
Hydrophobic molecules avoid water. Strictly speaking, they do not attract water, and therefore water will avoid them, since it is more attracted to other molecules or to itself.
Molecules along the surface of water are attracted?
Only from the sides and from beneath
What is it called when water sticks to different substances?
Adhesion is when water molecules stick to other molecules
Large molecules may have reaction sites termed -----because they are attracted to water?
Hydrophilic sites. These sites are attracted to water molecules due to their polarity and can interact with the surrounding water molecules.
What is the relationship between oil and water?
The relationship is that they do not mix. The molecules in water are attracted to each other and will not mix with the oil molecules which are also attracted to each other and therefore will not mix with the water molecules
Do water molecules attract nonpolar molecules such as oil?
Yes, but they attract polar molecules more strongly."Hydrophobic" molecules is a misnomer. The nonpolar molecules in question are attracted to water molecules (usually more strongly than they're attracted to each other, even), but they get "shoved out of the way" by polar "hydrophilic" molecules which are even more strongly attracted to water molecules.
What are microwaves attracted to in foods?
water molecules.
What does attracted to water molecules mean?
Being attracted to water molecules means that a substance has an affinity or ability to adhere to or mix well with water. This attraction can be due to the presence of polar or hydrophilic functional groups that interact favorably with water molecules.
Are polar molecules hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Polar molecules are hydrophilic, meaning they are attracted to water.
What is the similarities of hydrophillic and hydrophobic?
it is the opposite. Hydrophobic is water hating, hydrophilic is water loving. ie, hydrophobic substances avoid water, hydrophilic are attracted
Why is water attracted to a charged balloon?
Water is attracted to a charged balloon because the balloon's electric charge creates an electric field that polarizes the water molecules, causing them to be attracted to the balloon.
Is water hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Water is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to and interacts well with other substances, such as other water molecules or polar molecules.
Why oil molecules are not attracted to water molecules in vinegar?
Oil molecules are nonpolar and hydrophobic, meaning they do not have an affinity for water molecules which are polar. This difference in polarity causes oil and water to be immiscible, leading to the separation between the two substances in vinegar.
What polar molecules are attracted to water?
Polar molecules with positively charged regions, such as ammonia and alcohols like ethanol, are attracted to water due to hydrogen bonding. Additionally, polar molecules with negatively charged regions, such as acetate ions, are also attracted to water for the same reason.
What do hydrophobic molecules avoid?
Hydrophobic molecules avoid water. Strictly speaking, they do not attract water, and therefore water will avoid them, since it is more attracted to other molecules or to itself.
