Hydrophobic Effects:
What makes an atom hydrophobic? |
|
Definition
Fully reduced CH's are nonionic/non-polar and cannot do hydrogen bonding with water, making them hydrophobic
Water molecules surrounding a hydrophobic region move less in order to react with one another, lowering their entropy and making interactions with non-polar atoms unfavorable |
