Phase diagram of water - Columbia University
www.columbia.edu“Hydrophobic effect”, or the exclusion of non-polar compounds is another unique property of water caused by the hydrogen bonds. The hydrophobic effect is particularly important in the formation of cell membranes - water "squeezes" non-polar molecules together

Hydrogen Bonds - Brandeis
www.bio.brandeis.edubonds is clearly important, but much like the hydrophobic effect, hydrogen bonds are surprisingly complex and are not completely understood in every last detail. So take the things I will tell you with a grain of salt. The electrostatic nature of hydrogen bonds Hydrogen bonds are formed when an electronegative atom approaches a hydrogen atom
The hydrophobic effect - Brandeis
www.bio.brandeis.eduOil and water do not mix. This fact is so well engrained in our ever-day experience that we never ask “why”. Well, today we are going to ask just this question: “why do oil and ... take a look at the molecular properties of liquid water. Liquid water forms fluctuating networks of hydrogen bonds.
