a: phosphate head ~
b: water
What:
"Think of oil and water. They don't mix. The phosphate "head" is like water and the lipid "tails" are the oil. You learn in chemistry that polar substances will dissolve polar substances and apolar dissolve apolar. If you mix apolar and polar, they just separate."
