Hydrophillic substances are described as water loving substances and are any substance that can be dissolved in or mixed with water, or any substance that can be wetted by water, unlike oils. Sugar is one of the common examples of a hydrophillic substance because it dissolves easily in water and used everyday. Hydrophillic substances are polar and ionic causing them to be attracted to water, which allows them to dissolve or absorb water.
