Question

Cubberly and Iverson demonstrated that this property governs the self-assembly of aromatic aedamer monomers in solution in a geometry fine-tuned by their charge distribution. The assembly of molecules with this property is spontaneous due to the entropically-favorable loss of clathrate cages of ice-like (10[1])water (15[1])molecules. (-5[1])The “super” form of this property is characterized by (*) contact angles above 170 (10[1])degrees. (10[2])An effect named for this property can explain why proteins commonly (10[1])sequester tryptophan, (10[1])leucine, (10[1]-5[1])and valine in their interior. (-5[1])Micelles (“MY-sells”) have (10[1])interiors (10[1])with this property, (10[3]-5[1])allowing them to (10[1])encapsulate other molecules (10[2])with this property in a “like dissolves like” manner. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this property described as (10[1])“greasy,” (10[1])which is characteristic of oils (10[1])since they repel (-5[1])water. (10[3])■END■ (10[3])
