The hydrophobic effect is related to a fact that water is most stable when it has the most hydrogen bonds and that non polar molecules decrease the number of those bonds is "False".
Answer: Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
Hydrophobic effect is basically water fearing and observed as potential of non-polar compounds to aggregate and separate water molecules in an aqueous solution.Separating water from non-polar substances maximizes the bonding of hydrogen between water molecules and reduces the area of contact between water and non-polar molecules.
The hydrophobic effect is the reason behind the separation of an oil and water mixture, it is also responsible for cell membrane and vesicle construction, insertion of membrane proteins into the lipid which are non-polar in nature, protein folding and protein-small molecule associations.
