Why do hydrophobic interactions occur between two hydrophobic particles in water? Correct Answer To reduce the contact area with water

Hydrophobic interactions exist between two or more non-polar molecules, in the presence of water. The molecules stick or fold in a certain way in order to minimize the energetically unfavorable contact area with water. During these interactions the enthalpy also increases due to the breaking of some hydrogen bonds that form the clathrate cage.
