Is oxygen polar molecule or non polar molecule?
Definitely nonpolar.A molecule becomes polar if one of the atoms pulls electrons more strongly than another. But O2 is completely symmetrical--it's just two O atoms that are exactly alike. One can't pull more strongly than another, so it must be nonpolar.
Why is water not a good solvent for lipids?
Water molecules are polar, which means the oxygen side of the molecule is more negative, and the hydrogen side is more positive. Lipids are non polar, which means that one side is not more negative than the other. This is why no nonpolar substances dissolve in polar liquids
Is H 2 Se polar?
polar H2O is POLAR because its NDM is # from zero
Is benzoic acid polar or nonpolar?
It is non polar because although it has a carbonyl group that is polar (as the oxygen is more electronegative than the carbon and so forms a dipole), this polarity is outweighed by the hydrophobic nature of the organic part of the compound.
Why is that water mix in oil the oil float?
Oil and water will not mix as water is a polar substance and oil is nonpolar. Polar substances will only dissolve other polar substances or ionic substances, but not nonpolar substances. Thus, they stay separate, and water is more dense then oil, which is why the oil floats (same principals as to why anything floats)
What does like disslove like mean?
Polar substances dissolve in polar liquids. Nonpolar substances dissovle in nonpolar liqiuds. (For more info on polar and nonpolar, refer to Chemistry)
Why iodine is more soluble in cl but less soluble in water?
Iodine is not soluble in water because iodine is nonpolar and water is polar. According to the "Like dissolve like" expression, nonpolar substances are soluble with nonpolar substances and polar substances are soluble with polar substances, but nonpolar substances are not soluble with polar substances.
H3O plus is a polar or nonpolar molecule?
H2O is a polar molecule; +H3O is even more so.
Is an alkane polar or nonpolar?
Alkynes are polar, slightly more than alkanes or alkenes, due to electron density at their triple bond. However, liquid alkynes are non-polar solvents.
Explain why nonpolar substances generally do not dissolve in polar solvents?
No. Water has polar molecules so only polar molecules will dissolve in water. Nonpolar molecules will only dissolve in nonpolar solvents. For example, lipids will dissolve in ethanol.
Is oxygen polar molecule or non polar molecule?
Definitely nonpolar.A molecule becomes polar if one of the atoms pulls electrons more strongly than another. But O2 is completely symmetrical--it's just two O atoms that are exactly alike. One can't pull more strongly than another, so it must be nonpolar.
Why are halogens more soluble in non - polar solvents like cyclohexane?
Halogens on their own are simple elements and are thus nonpolar. Nonpolar substances dissolve most easily in nonpolar solvents.
Is XeF4 a polar or nonpolar?
It is non polar. The central Xe atom has 4 Fluorine atoms and two electron pairs attached giving it AB4E2 molecular structure. This leads to a square planar molecular shape. F is more electronegative than Xe and is thus a polar covalent bond, but the 4 bonds in a square cancel out, and the electron pair on top and bottom of the "square plane" cancel each-other out as well, leaving you with a non polar molecule
Is Cl3 polar or nonpolar?
CHCl3 is a polar molecule. Its electron and molecular geometries are both tetrahedral, yet the Chlorine atoms are more electronegative than the Hydrogen atom, making the molecule polar.
Why is water not a good solvent for lipids?
Water molecules are polar, which means the oxygen side of the molecule is more negative, and the hydrogen side is more positive. Lipids are non polar, which means that one side is not more negative than the other. This is why no nonpolar substances dissolve in polar liquids
Is C3H9CL polar or nonpolar?
It is polar, The chlorine is more electronegative than the carbon and thus will pull electrons towards it causing it to become more negatively charged than the carbon.
Does ammonia have polar or nonpolar bonds?
Polar covalent - nitrogen is more electronegative than hydrogen and so the electrons in the bond spend more time closer to the nitrogen atom.
