Explain why phospholipids spontaneously form a bilayer when mixed with water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
8 0
Because phospholipids have a polar end (phosphorus) and a non polar end (lipid). Similar things mix together so the phospho end likes water and the lipid end doesnt and it tucks inside the membrane

A solvent is simply a substance that can dissolve other molecules and compounds, ... Because of its polarity and ability to form
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Hi

The high dipole moment of water and its ease in forming hydrogen bonds make it an excellent analysis. A molecule is soluble in water if it can interact with its molecules through hydrogen bonds or ion-dipole interactions.

With anions that have oxygen they can form hydrogen bonds, since oxygen acts as their acceptor. The attraction of the anion on the water dipole must be taken into account. The same goes for Cl-F, which have solitary electron pairs and can act as hydrogen bridge acceptors. On the other hand, cations such as Na+, K+, Ca++ or Mg++ are surrounded by water molecules to which they are joined by dipole ion interactions while oxygen atoms are oriented towards the catión.
