ionic molecules


What types of substances dissolve in water?

In general, polar molecules. Oil, a no polar substance, does not dissolve in water.


Why are polar covalently bonded molecules soluble in water and non polar are not?

Water is a polar covalent molecule. The partial charges in the molecule attract other charges, ionic or more partial charges from other covalent molecules and dissolves them. Nonpolar bonded molecules have no partial charges and the water molecules will attract each other thus not attracting the nonpolar and does not dissolve them.


Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?

No, because water is polar and polar dissolves in polar then non polar covalent bond cannot dissolve in water.


Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?

Because water is polar, and polar solvants will dissolve polar solutes. :)


What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?

Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.


What kinds of molecules do water dissolve?

It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.


Why cant salt dissolve in water?

it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.


What types of molecules dissolve easily in water?

Polar molecules and ions dissolve easily in water


What type of molecules mix the best with water?

Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.


What polar molecules are attracted to water?

Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.
