Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of hydrophobic molecules include the alkanes, oils, fats, and greasy substances in general. Hydrophobic materials are used for oil removal from water, the management of oil spills, and chemical separation processes to remove non-polar substances from polar compounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of Hydrophobic Substances Oils, fats, alkanes, and most other organic compounds are hydrophobic. If you mix oil or fat with water, the mixture will separate. If you shake a mixture of oil and water, the oil globules will eventually stick together to present a minimum surface area to the water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water and oil famously don’t mix: the term hydrophobic (water-fearing) is commonly used to describe substances that, like oil, do not mix with water.
