  Not at all A Little Mostly Very
Hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity are properties of surfaces, and arise from interactions between the surface and water.
Changing the chemical molecules on a surface can modify the material’s surface properties, e.g. hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity.
3D nanostructure coatings, engineered and found in nature, can modify the material’s surface properties, e.g. hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity.
Nano-scale metal particles can be deposited on surfaces via oxidation-reduction of the appropriate ionic solutions.
Surface properties, such as hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, can be measured by the contact angle of a water droplet formed on a surface.
Chemistry: Electronegativity and ionization energy is related to bond formation.
Scientific Investigation and Experimentation: Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations.
Scientific Investigation and Experimentation: Analyze situations and solve problems that require combining and applying concepts from more than one area of science.
