Question
Hydrophilic molecules are water repellants while hydrophobic molecules are water absorbents.
Hydrophilic molecules are water repellants while hydrophobic molecules are water absorbents.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B False
Hydrophilic molecules are water absorbents while hydrophobic molecules are water repellants. For example, the two ends of a soap molecule are hydrophilic and hydrophobic in nature. The hydrocarbon chains are non-polar and hydrophobic in nature, they attach themselves to the oil/ grease stains. The ionic end is hydrophilic in nature and it aligns with the water molecules.
