The functional group that is hydrophobic in nature is : methyl group
Methyl group is a structural unit of an organic compound that consists of three ( 3 ) hydrogen atoms that are bounded to a single carbon atom. methyl occurs in three forms ( cation , anion and radical )that are reactive in nature
Methyl groups are hydrophobic in nature because of it's polarity ( i.e. Methyl groups are non-polar ). non-polar functional groups are grouped as hydrophobic while polar functional groups are grouped as hydrophilic
Hence we can conclude that the functional group that is hydrophobic in nature is Methyl group.
