Kerosene is a non-polar molecule. This is because it has an evenly distributed electric charge, whereas the electric charge of polar molecules are not evenly distributed throughout the molecule.
Kerosene is a non-polar molecule. It is a hydrocarbon.

it is a mixture of alkanes between 6 and 16 carbons therefore non polar.
Oil is non-polar
Kerosene is a non-electrolyte.
Yes, it is
It is not.
kerosene does not dissolve in water because it is a non polar liquid while water is polar so due to different nature they are insoluble. kerosene due to less density floats over water surface.
Kerosene is non polar. Iodine is also non polar substance. Like substances dissolve like substances. Therefore, kerosene should dissolve well in kerosene
ethanol (i.e ethyl alcohol) is a polar solvent. So ethanol is soluble in water. But Kerosene is non-polar solvent. Like dissolves like. This phenomenon is used here. Kerosene can dissolve non-polar solvents like naphthalene, which is a non-polar solvent.
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
In non-polar solvents such as kerosene, hexane, pentane
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.

NO, because sugar is a polar substance while kerosene is non-polar. Non-polar liquids will only dissolve non-polar solids.

http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761570078/kerosene.html This website through Encarta will explain to you the properties of Kerosene and tell you that it is insoluble. Kerosene with most other Alkanes are non polar, water is polar. Non polar molecules can only dissolve with other non polar molecules. The same for polar in that they cannot dissolve in any other but polar molecules.
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
In non-polar solvents such as kerosene, hexane, pentane
chemical make-up, In detail, The chemical reaction of the kerosene upon the iodine, It "shakes hands" and bonds with and therefore is more interactive allowing fluid reply.
Kerosene is a non polar solvent (or non ionic solvent) and cannot dissolve an ionic compound such as salt.
Basically water is a polar solvent, meaning it has a positive and negative charge on it and kerosene is non polar the dipoles cancel so it has no charge. The solubility rule is that like substances dissolve like so water would mix with another polar molecule and kerosene would mix with a non polar molecule, hence why the two cant mix very well.
Because "like dissolves like" eg. polar substances dissolve polar substances. Mothball powder, margarine, and kerosene are all non-polar. Water however is polar, so the mothball powder and margarine cannot dissolve in it.
