How can water dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds?
Water can dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds because of its polarity. It is polar enough to dissolve ionic compounds into their ions. Water does not dissolve molecular compounds by breaking covalent bonds, but through intermolecular forces.
Why does salt dissolve?
Sodium chloride is dissolved in water because is a polar, ionic compond.
Why do some toxic chemicals only dissolve in body fats?
Some molecules such as triglycerides, fatty acids, steroids, and cholesterol don't dissolve in water because of their molecular structure. They do, however, dissolve in fat. Any toxic chemical with this type of molecular structure would tend to dissolve in fat, not in water.
The process by which some molecular compounds dissolve in water to form ions is?
Ionization
An aqueous solution is a solution in which some ionic solutes dissolve in water or is it some molecular solutes dissolve in water?
An aqueous solution is one where water is the solvent. The nature of the solute is not relevant.
Molecular compuonds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because no charged ions present?
True
Why doesnt sugar dissolve in room temperature water?
because it doesn't have enough molecular motion
What tests you could use to discover if a compound were ionic or molecular?
Dissolve them in water. If the solution conducts electricity, then the solute is an ionic compound. If not, then it is a molecular compound.
Would cooking oil dissolve in water?
No, all oils are water-repellents. Because of the molecular structure of oils, they are unable to bond to the water.
How does water dissolve in molecular compounds?
O is negative, H is positive. The charges pull things apart.
Some molecular compounds such as HCl ionize completely in solution. Some molecular compounds such as HC2H3O2 do not ionize completely when they dissolve in water.?
HCl lowers the boiling point of water more than HC2H3O2 does.
Molecular compounds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because no?
No mobile charged particles are present in sufficient concentration.
