Hydrophilic

Hydrophilic means "water-loving." Chemical groups that tend to make substances hydrophilic include ionic (charged) groups and groups that contain oxygen or nitrogen atoms.

Hydrophobic

Hydrophobic means "water-hating." Chemical groups that tend to make substances hydrophobic include -CH2- chains and rings (hydrocarbons). These substances lack the ability to hydrogen bond and their surface free energy is relatively low. Water does not tend to wet hydrophobic surfaces; rather, the droplets stay beaded up with high values of contact angle.
