Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Oxyphilic

👉 The term "oxyphilic" refers to a molecule that has a positive charge on its surface. This characteristic makes it suitable for interacting with other molecules, as it can attract them towards itself and thus increase their affinity for each other. The presence of this positive charge on the surface allows oxyphilic molecules to form strong bonds with other molecules, which is why they are often referred to as "oxy" in chemistry.
