Exception:
- Some very small non-polar molecules can dissolve in water, like oxygen (O2)
No. Non polar compound or solvents Examples of household items like fats, oil and petrol. Most non-polar molecules are water insoluble (http://www.answers.com/topic/hydrophobe-1) at room temperature. However many non-polar http://www.answers.com/topic/solvent, such as http://www.answers.com/topic/turpentine, are able to dissolve non-polar substances - like dissolves like.
No, non-polar molecules do not dissolve in water.
Remember, like substances dissolve like substances (like dissolves like). Water is POLAR; therefore, non-polar molecules will not dissolve in it. Non-polar molecules dissolve in non-polar solutions.
Polar molecules dissolve in water, but nonpolar molecules do not dissolve in water. There is a saying that like dissolves like. Water dissolve polar substances like itself, but not nonpolar molecules which are unlike water. An example of a nonpolar substance in water is a mixture of water and vegetable oil, which is nonpolar. If left to sit, the oil will form a layer on top of the water's surface because it cannot dissolve in the water.
A non-polar molecule is typically not soluble in water because they lack ionic groups capable of water molecule interaction. A term for this type of insolubility is "hydrophobic."
No.
Water is polar, and only dissolves other polar things.
Octane is a non polar compound. Sodium hydroxide is an ionic solvent. So octane is not soluble in NaOH and they together involve in no reactions.
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.
Rubber is considered nonpolar. Dipole moments are not possible in rubber due to its molecules' similar charges, and it is not soluble in water.
Yes! Because they are both non-polar molecules.
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
Gasoline is hydrophobic because the molecules are non-polar. Only polar molecules are soluble in water.
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
ccl4 will dissolve better in water because likes dissolves likes, H2O is non-polar an CCL4 is also non polar where as ch2cl2 is polar(different to water) there for it wont dissolve in water but CCL4 will^^This is not true: water is polar. Therefore, since CCl4 is non-polar, and CH2Cl2 is polar, and like dissolves like, CH2Cl2 is more soluble.
Lipids are soluble in non polar solvents
Polar molecules are water soluble , non-polar molecules are fat soluble . Chloroform (as are most anesthetics) is more soluble in fats (the cell membrane) than in water (ie.blood). Thus it is classified as non-polar notwithstanding the data below. Chloroform is a polar molecule. The 3 chlorine atoms are considerably more electronegative than the hydrogen atom, so the molecule has a net dipole moment.
There are many compounds that are soluble in oil but not water. These compounds include alkanes and other organic molecules that are mostly nonpolar. Even long-chain alcohols are soluble in oil but not water, though one part of the molecule is polar.
Hydrocarbons by themselves are non polar, so they would not be soluble in water, which is a polar molecule. Some hydrocarbon molecules however can have parts (with oxygen, hydrogen, fluor or nitrogen) and interact with water molecules though hydrogen bonding, albeit with less efficiency than other molecules that are polar.
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.
Octane is a non polar compound. Sodium hydroxide is an ionic solvent. So octane is not soluble in NaOH and they together involve in no reactions.
Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.
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.
