P is supposed to represent lipophilicity in the graph. The passage states that there is "1) an increase in polarity with the inclusion of polar C—F bonds, decreasing P, and 2) a decrease in the overall polarizability of the molecular surface with the inclusion of nonpolarizable fluorine atoms, increasing P".
My thought was that increasing the # of F atoms would contribute to the inductive effect and cause the compounds to be more acidic, thus less lipophilic, but the graph shows...
