|
Attracted to water
|
|
|
Repel water
|
|
|
Don’t exist
|

|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Being a polar protic solvent, water is capable of forming a hydrogen bond (-H–OH-). Hydrophilic molecules are polar in nature and easily form a hydrogen bond with water thereby getting dissolved in water. Notably, these interactions between the hydrophilic molecule and water are thermodynamically favored.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrophobic molecules and surfaces repel water. Hydrophobic liquids, such as oil, will separate from water. Hydrophobic molecules are usually nonpolar, meaning the atoms that make the molecule do not produce a static electric field.
