Explanation / Answer

The below statement for the solubility of organic compound in water is true:

The non polar part of a molecule that is not attracted to water is said to be hydrophobic.

Explanation: Water is a polar molecule and most of the organic compounds are non- polar. The rule is "like dissolve like" thus the polar molecules dissolves in polar solvents. Hydrophobic means "water fearing" thus the part which is not attached to water is hydrophobic and does not dissolves in water. Hydrophilic means "water loving" thus the part which is attached to water is hydrophilic and dissolves in water easily.
