Hydrophilic / When polar molecules mix with water, the negative dipole of one molecule and the positive dipole of another will be weakly attracted to one another. This weak attraction is called a hydrogen bond and the formation of this bond allows for polar molecules to dissolve in one another. Since water is a polar molecule, other polar molecules will dissolve in water (thus polar molecules are usually hydrophilic and are lipophobic).
