hydrophobic substances tend to do which of the following?
□ aggregate together when mixed with water in order to minimize contact with water
□ readily form hydrogen bonds with water
□ repel water
□ assume shapes that minimize contact with water
□ attract water

Explanation:

Hydrophobic substances are nonpolar, so they cannot form hydrogen bonds with polar water molecules. Instead, they repel water, aggregate together to minimize their surface contact with water, and adopt shapes that reduce this contact. They do not attract water.

Answer:

• Aggregate together when mixed with water in order to minimize contact with water
• Repel water
• Assume shapes that minimize contact with water
