A hydrophilic Molecule or portion of a molecule is one that is typically charge-polarized and capable of Hydrogen Bond ing, enabling it to dissolve more readily in water than in oil or other Hydrophobic solvents. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules are also known as Polar Molecules and Nonpolar Molecule s, respectively. Some hydrophilic substances don't dissolve. This type of mixture is called a colloid. Soap has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail which allows it to dissolve in both waters and oils, therefore allowing the soap to clean a surface. SEE ALSO |
