Rf Value - It tells you the affinity that the compound has to the solvent...High Rf = little or no polar groups and low Rf = more polar groups. Question: In TLC (thin-layer chromatography) when the compound has a high Rf the solvent is: a. less polar b. Is more polar Answer: a. less polar

Are covalent molecular compounds soluble?
Solubility of a substance in water depends on the type of interaction predominates in the compound and the solvent.The solubility of any compound follows the principle "like dissolves like".So if a covalent molecular compound is polar then it dissolves in a polar solvent and if it is non polar or hydrophobic then it dissolves in a nonpolar solvent

What is the least polar organic solvent and why?
The least polar organic solvent must not have any dipole interactions. It can either have all hydrocarbons or have perfect symmetrical molecular structure that cancels out opposing electronegative forces. Hexane would be the least polar organic solvent available.
Is chlorine trifluoride an ionic compound or a molecular compound?
It is a polar covalent compound.
Are ionic compound soluble in a non polar solvent?
Not usually.

Is water a non-polar solvent?
No, water is a polar solvent because of the polar oxygen-hydrogen bonds and the geometry of the compound.
Is sodium chloride is soluble in ether?
Sodium chloride is highly polar (ionic in fact) where hexane is very not. The two don't attract at all, so each is insoluble in the other.
Is hydrogen chloride a solvent?
Hydrogen chloride is a polar compound. Therefore it can act as a solvent to particular polar compounds.
Is chlorine trifluoride an ionic compound or a molecular compound?
It is a polar covalent compound.
Is iron III nitrate soluble in hexane?
No, it is an ionic compound which is soluble in water (a polar solvent) but not in Hexane ( a non polar solvent).
Are kerosene and oil soluble?
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.
Are ionic compound soluble in a non polar solvent?
Not usually.
Why does acetone have less cohesion than water?
"Molecular Bonds"? They don't. Your question makes no sense.
Is SeH4 polar or non polar?
It is polar. It has a lone pair of electrons and it's molecular geometry is seesaw.
