Abstract
Hydrophobic bonding is related to the three dimensional hydrogen-bonded structure in liquid water. This skeletal structure allows the existence of cavities capable of accommodating small non-polar moieties and also the formation of cavities by the larger non-polar groups on dissolution. The limit of this interstitial dissolution at a given temperature is the onset of hydrophobic bonding such as micellization, saturation solubility or the intramolecular aggregation of non-polar side chains in proteins. The stronger the skeletal structure the more stable the natural cavities and the higher the solubility of small non-polar molecules. Weaker skeletal structures accommodate relatively large non-polar molecules (moieties) better than the stronger skeletal structures. This explains the solubility of argon, hydrocarbons, amino acids and micellization in light water, heavy water and in aqueous urea solutions.
