Nope... Doubt is same just I've written incorrect...so just clarifying that actual question is...If lyophobic has characteristic charge then why hydrophilic part carries-ve here? Does it make sense to you?

Lyophobic will be hydrophilic na. Fat hating. Water loving. Polar compounds. Fat loving water hating. Apolar part (hydrocarbon chain)

What...Sir are they same thing? M thinking like lyophobic hv to be hydrophobic..
Comrade Rock Astley
It's the opposite Lyophilic is hydrophobic

When we use water as a dispersion medium then lyophobic is called as hydrophobic right? M thinking smthn like this.. How can you say it?
Comrade Rock Astley
Lyophobic substances are highly polar hence they attract water and repel non-polar substances like fats The reverse is for lyophilic substances
Maven

Exactly but read my question again...this is not my question
Comrade Rock Astley
So non-polar substances are lyophilic and so they attract other non-polar fats and repel water so lyophilic is hydrophobic
