Hydrophilic molecules
Hydrophobic. These molecules tend to be nonpolar or have a nonpolar region, which makes them poorly soluble in water. Instead, they often interact with other nonpolar molecules.
A water molecule can interact with up to four other molecules through hydrogen bonding. This can include interactions with other water molecules or with different types of molecules such as ions or polar compounds.
Polar molecules like water interact with other polar molecules such as salts, sugars, and some proteins through hydrogen bonding. Nonpolar molecules like oils and fats interact with water through hydrophobic interactions, where they tend to cluster together to minimize contact with water.
Hydrophilic heads on plasma membranes attract water. These heads are composed of polar molecules that interact with water molecules due to their similar polarity, allowing water to be attracted to and interact with the membrane.
Hydrophilic sites. These sites are attracted to water molecules due to their polarity and can interact with the surrounding water molecules.
Polar molecules interact with water because water is a polar molecule itself. Nonpolar molecules do not interact with water because they do not have regions of positive and negative charge like polar molecules do.
Hydrophobic. These molecules tend to be nonpolar or have a nonpolar region, which makes them poorly soluble in water. Instead, they often interact with other nonpolar molecules.
Polar molecules such as glucose, salts, and amino acids interact well with water molecules due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds. Additionally, some nonpolar molecules with small sizes, like ethanol and acetone, can also interact with water through weak van der Waals forces.
Water-fearing molecules are called hydrophobic molecules. These molecules do not interact or mix well with water due to their nonpolar nature.
A water molecule can interact with up to four other molecules through hydrogen bonding. This can include interactions with other water molecules or with different types of molecules such as ions or polar compounds.

Polar molecules like water interact with other polar molecules such as salts, sugars, and some proteins through hydrogen bonding. Nonpolar molecules like oils and fats interact with water through hydrophobic interactions, where they tend to cluster together to minimize contact with water.
Polar covalent molecules are likely to dissolve in water because they have partial positive and negative charges that can interact with water molecules through dipole-dipole interactions. Ionic molecules also dissolve in water as the positive and negative ions are attracted to the polar water molecules. Nonpolar covalent molecules do not dissolve well in water because they lack partial charges that can interact with water molecules.
No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.

Hydrophilic heads on plasma membranes attract water. These heads are composed of polar molecules that interact with water molecules due to their similar polarity, allowing water to be attracted to and interact with the membrane.
Potassium chloride is able to dissolve in water because it forms ions when it comes into contact with water. The polar nature of water molecules allows them to interact with the ions in potassium chloride, causing the compound to dissociate and mix evenly in the water, resulting in a solution.
