Question

Which of the following statements about the solubility of organic compounds in H_2O is true? For an organic compound with one functional group that contains an O or N atom, the compound is water soluble only if it has 35 carbons The non-polar part of a molecule that is not attracted to water is said to be hydrophilic. The polar part of a molecule that can that can bond hydrogen to water is said to be hydrophobic The non-polar part of molecule that not attracted to water is said to be hydrophobic References Multiple Choice

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is option-4 i.e the non polar part of the molecule that is not attracted to water is said to be hydropobic.

The first option is wrong because there is no such condition that for being soluble there must be 35 carbon atoms.

The polar part of the molecule which is attracted to water is said to be hydrophilic.
