Definition of Hydrophobic. The word hydrophobic comes from the Greek roots hydro- (meaning water) and -phobia (meaning fearing or hating). The word hydrophobic describes the fact that nonpolar substances don't combine with water molecules. Let's take a closer look at that definition.

Oxygen, as an electronegative atom, draws the electrons of each bond closer to its core, thus creating a more negative charge.
