BlakeYes, hydrophilic substances dissolve in water. Hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water molecules due to their polar nature, allowing them to form bonds with water and dissolve in it. This is in contrast to hydrophobic substances, which repel water and do not dissolve in it.

Are materials that dissolve in water called hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Materials that dissolve in water are called hydrophilic. They have an affinity for water and can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing them to disperse in water.
What is a water hydrophilic?
Compounds that like water.
Which materials dissolve in water- hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydrophilic materials dissolve in water because they are attracted to water molecules and can form bonds with them. Hydrophobic materials, on the other hand, do not dissolve in water because they are repelled by water and do not interact with water molecules.
If something is described as hydrophilic what quality does it have?
A hydrophilic substance has an affinity or the ability to interact with water molecules. This means that it can dissolve, mix with, or be wetted by water.
What is the head of a surfactant molecule?
The head of a surfactant molecule is typically hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water. This hydrophilic head allows surfactants to dissolve in water and interact with other molecules.
