If water has no net charge explain why it attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules?

Water attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules because water has polar molecules. Water does have a net dipole though it doesn't have net charge.

How do ions differ from nonpolar molecules?
ions it may be positive charge or negative but nonpolar is having same charge like H2 IS NONPOLAR AND HCL IS POLAR............
Nonpolar molecules are attracted to positive forces?
Because a nonpolar molecule has no overall charge, it will not interact with a positive force.
When a polar molecule causes a charge redistribution in a nonpolar molecule what are the molecules of the mixture most likely experiencing?
When a polar molecule causes a charge redistribution in a nonpolar molecule, the molecules of the mixture most likely experiencing dipole-induced dipole interactions
Diffusion of nonpolar molecules would not be affected by?
Diffusion of nonpolar molecules would not be affected by charge. Allosteric inhibition is generally a result of binding regulatory molecule at a site other than the active site.
A molecule that is positively charge on one end and negatively charged on the other end is called a nonpolar?
A polar molecules
None polar molecules?
Non-polar molecules are ususally carbon saturated. Often contain no or very few Nitrogen or oxygens.
Why don't polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?
Polar compounds have poles that have a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge that attract other polar molecules. Nonpolar compounds do not have partially charged poles, so the polar substance is not attracted to them and they don't dissolve.
Why do you think polar and nonpolar molecules do not mix?
Polar molecules happen when there is an unequal sharing of electrons in a covalent bond. This leads to a partial positive change on one molecule and a partial negative charge on the other. An example of this is water (H2O). The hydrogens have partial positive charges and the oxygen has a partial negative charge.
What is water particles particles?
water consists of polar molecules (having partially positive and negative charges) the partially charge of one molecule attracts the opposite partially charge of other molecules (hydrogen bonding) it creates attraction among water molecules.
What is the difference in the strength of attractions between polar as nonpolar molecules?
No. A polar molecule (such as water) has partial positive and negative charges at each end, but these partial charges balance out to zero overall, leaving the molecule as a whole neutral. This is due to electrons being shared unevenly be the atoms in the molecule. A "charged molecule" would not be called a molecule. It would be called a polyatomic ion. A polyatomic ions has an overall net charge due to there being a different number of protons and electrons.
What is an even charge distribution?
Nonpolar
What does it mean when lipids are non-polar?
When a substance is polar it means that the molecules have a partial positive charge on one part of the molecule and a partial negative charge on the other. When a substance such as a lipid is nonpolar it means that it does not have this trait.
