  1. Hydrophobic Interaction

    Linked via "entropy-driven process"

    Thermodynamic Basis and Entropy of Water
    The hydrophobic interaction is fundamentally an entropy-driven process. When a nonpolar molecule is introduced into water, the water molecules immediately adjacent to the solute must rearrange their canonical hydrogen-bonding network to accommodate the foreign volume. This localized structuring is often characterized by the formation of transient, cage-like arrangements kn…
