Why is the longer the carbon chain, the better the hydrophobic properties?
The carbon chain is the water chain, but the lower the polarity (TA)They have to write fifteen characters ah from702853 (station link TA) can theoretically explain it zhoupeng87 (station link TA) should be the basic alkyl is not hydrophilic, it belongs to the hydrophobic group, the increase of carbon chain length of the hydrophobic whyy0113 (station TA) carbon chain is longer, the more polar groups easily entrapped nature shows hydrophobic alkane name small Jia (TA station) the carbon chain length of hydrophobic chain length, of course, hydrophobic. Cher (station TA) the alkyl chain is hydrophobic, so the longer hydrophobic part content more hydrophobic natural good red sandalwood fragrance (TA station).
I only know that the carbon chain is hydrophobic, so the longer it stronger. But why hydrophobic carbon chain is hydrophobic, hydrocarbon is because of hydrophobic group, the hydrophobic alkyl and why? I don't know, can be very the problem of bai123 (inline station TA) the longer the pure carbon chain, the better the symmetry, the worse the polarity, showing a strong hydrophobic, lqn513 (in station contact TA) similar, compatible ah, polarity is different, compatibility is different, zhu2du1314 (station contact TA), this is obvious......
Alkyl chains, low in polarity, insoluble in water...... Release53 (TA station) of all alkanes alkane chain containing even chemical bonds are sigma bond, charge distribution in the molecule is not very uniform, the movement process can produce instantaneous dipole moment, but the total dipole moment is zero, non polar molecules. According to the similarity principle of compatibility, alkane in general can only be dissolved in carbon tetrachloride, like hydrocarbons and other non polar solvent, so the more you long alkane chain, as hydrophobic groups, then you must material hydrophobicity and better advice and look at textbooks still need some basic theory of organic.
