Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrophobes are nonpolar molecules and usually have a long chain of carbons that do not interact with water molecules. The mixing of fat and water is a good example of this particular interaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -In non-polar molecules, there is equal distribution of electrons between the bonded atoms. Polar molecules tend to be hydrophilic, whilst non-polar molecules are hydrophobic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Molecules that repel water because they are nonpolar molecules are described with the adjective hydrophobic. Hydrophobic molecules such as alkanes, oils, fats, and greases do not dissolve in water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Hydrophobic molecules are nonpolar molecules-from the Greek “hydro-” water and “phobic” fearing.
