The word you're looking for is
hydrophilic. A hydrophilic molecule is one that readily dissolves in water. This is because hydrophilic molecules are
polar, meaning they have a positive and negative end, like a magnet. Water is also a polar molecule, and the positive end of a water molecule will attract the negative end of a hydrophilic molecule, and vice versa. This attraction helps the hydrophilic molecule dissolve in water.
Here are some examples of hydrophilic molecules:
* Sugar (glucose)
* Salt (sodium chloride)
* Ethanol
* Many proteins
