Difference between Chemical polarity and Lipophilicity

Chemical polarity vs. Lipophilicity

In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole or multipole moment. Lipophilicity (from Greek λίπος "fat" and φίλος "friendly"), refers to the ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and non-polar solvents such as hexane or toluene.

Similarities between Chemical polarity and Lipophilicity

Chemical polarity and Lipophilicity have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amphiphile, Detergent, Hydrogen bond, Hydrophile, Hydrophobe, Micelle, Phospholipid, Solvent, Surface tension, Surfactant.

Amphiphile

An amphiphile (from the Greek αμφις, amphis: both and φιλíα, philia: love, friendship) is a chemical compound possessing both hydrophilic (water-loving, polar) and lipophilic (fat-loving) properties.

Detergent

A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleaning properties in dilute solutions.

Hydrogen bond

A hydrogen bond is a partially electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen (H) which is bound to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F), and another adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons.

Hydrophile

A hydrophile is a molecule or other molecular entity that is attracted to water molecules and tends to be dissolved by water.

Hydrophobe

In chemistry, hydrophobicity is the physical property of a molecule (known as a hydrophobe) that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water.

Micelle

A micelle or micella (plural micelles or micellae, respectively) is an aggregate (or supramolecular assembly) of surfactant molecules dispersed in a liquid colloid.

Phospholipid

Phospholipids are a class of lipids that are a major component of all cell membranes.

Solvent

A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "loosen, untie, solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution.

Surface tension

Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible.

Surfactant

Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two liquids, between a gas and a liquid, or between a liquid and a solid.

Chemical polarity and Lipophilicity Comparison

Chemical polarity has 67 relations, while Lipophilicity has 33. As they have in common 10, the Jaccard index is 10.00% = 10 / (67 + 33).
