    The phosphate head of the phospholipid is hydrophilic because it is polar (having charge), and thus readily dissolves in water which is a polar solvent. The hydrocarbon chain tails of phospholipid are hydrophobic because they are nonpolar (uncharged), and thus remain undissolved by water. These hydrocarbon tails have an affinity for each other, orienting themselves to face each other in water, forming the hydrophobic ...
