Which of the following best describes the basis of the hydrophobic effect? hydrophobic groups are repelled from charged groups by electrostatic effects hydrophobic groups are held together by van der Waals bonds the entropy of water molecules in the system increases if they are excluded from contact with hydrophobic chemical groups hydrogen bonding between water molecules makes hydrophobic groups insoluble hydrogen bonds between hydrophobic groups restricts access of water molecules
