Question

which is most likely to be true of a hydrophobic molecule? 1 it will be polar. 2 it will have no charge. 3 it will be soluble in water. 4 it will tend to form hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Hydrophobic molecules are non - polar and repel water. Polar molecules (option 1) and molecules that form hydrogen bonds (option 4) or are soluble in water (option 3) are hydrophilic. Hydrophobic molecules are usually non - charged and non - polar, so the statement "It will have no charge" is most likely true for a hydrophobic molecule.

Answer:

  1. It will have no charge.
