Question
Chapter 26, Problem 26.2P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The term hydrophobic has to be defined.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
- Hydrophobic means repelling of water molecules. Hydrophobic molecules are insoluble in water and non-polar in nature.
- Due to its non-solvation, hydrophobic molecules aggregate in polar solvents like water.
- This aggregation of hydrophobic molecules leads to membrane formation, surfactant action, protein folding, and protein-protein recognition.
