Ascientist has isolated a chemical compound that is partially soluble in water. the chemical keep water-soluble substances mixed with fats. when analyzing the composition of the chemical, the scientist determined that in addition to carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, the compound contains nitrogen and phosphorus atoms. based on this information, the compound is a (an)

Based on the information, the compound is a phospholipid.

Explanation:

Phospholipids are made up of a fatty acid tail which is hydrophobic in nature and a head which comprises of phosphates that is hydrophilic in nature. Hence, phospholipids are amphiphilic compounds so they will be partially soluble in water and will allow water-soluble substances to mix with fats.

Hence, the composition of the substance described in the question confirms that is a phospholipid. As it's structure contains hydrocarbon and phosphorus and might also contain nitrogen.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
