Do you predict that crystal violet will be hydrophilic (polar) or hydrophobic (non-polar)? Why?
a) Hydrophilic (polar) due to the presence of polar functional groups
b) Hydrophobic (non-polar) due to the absence of polar functional groups
c) Hydrophilic (polar) as it is an ionic compound
d) Hydrophobic (non-polar) as it is a small molecule
