Hydrophobic

                                                    24. Hydrophobic
This bottle of oil represents the term hydrophobic. Hydrophobic means repelling  water or insoluble in water. Oil is considered hydrophobic because when you try to mix it with water it will never mix. There will always be little bubbles of oil floating within the water. This is also because water is polar and oil in non polar. The water and oil molecules are not attracted to each other.
