no, in the case of polar and nonpolar the two do not mix it's like putting olive oil in milk

What is a nonpolar compound?
Polar compounds are those which have a net charged moment. Nonpolar compounds do not have a net charge, they are equal and neutral
Is PF3Cl2 polar or nonpolar?
polar
Is carbon dioxide polar or non- polar?
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
Is cyclohexene a polar or non polar?
Nonpolar. There's a slight amount of polarity because of the double bond, but not much.
Why are some compounds non-polar but have polar bonds?
This is because some polar atoms form long chains causing the overall polarity of the molecule to be non-polar. Such is the case with soaps which contain essentailly polar fatty acids but due to the formation of chains the molecules are non-polar. Hope that helps :) Graham Duncan
Is mineral oil soluble in a solution ofwater and tetrahydrofuran?
Mineral oil is a nonpolar compound. Water and tetrahydrofuran are both polar compounds. Polar compounds and nonpolar compounds do not generally mix.
Why don't polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?
Polar compounds have poles that have a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge that attract other polar molecules. Nonpolar compounds do not have partially charged poles, so the polar substance is not attracted to them and they don't dissolve.
How does laundry detergent work on a molecular level?
The molecule that makes up soap or detergent has a polar head and a nonpolar tail. In chemistry, compounds that are polar like to mix with other polar compounds and compounds that are nonpolar like to mix with other nonpolar compounds. This is why oil and water don't mix. Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. Oil and grease are a nonpolar compounds. When in water the soap molecules will arrange themselves in such a way that the nonpolar tails surround the grease creating a spherical droplet. On the face of this sphere is the polar heads of the soap molecule. This allows it to interact with the polar water. This is how soap and laundry detergent are able to remove oil and grease and wash it down the drain.
Is the mix of water and alcohol polar or non-polar?
Both water and alcohol are polar. The terms polar and nonpolar, as they are used in chemistry, cannot be applied to mixtures, only to individual compounds.
What one of these defines the like dissolves like rule of solubility?
As a general rule polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and nonpolar compounds are soluble in nonpolar solvents.
What is a nonpolar compound?
Polar compounds are those which have a net charged moment. Nonpolar compounds do not have a net charge, they are equal and neutral
Is peanut butter polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
Can ethers dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds?
No it's false nonpolar compounds usually do not dissolve in polar solvents.
Is a dipole polar or nonpolar?
Nonpolar compounds do not have dipole moments. Dipole moments are polar forces. If the compound is nonpolar then there is no polarity within that molecule.
Do H20 and CH20 dissolve in each other and why?
No, because water is polar and CH20 is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances don't mix.
Which explains why acetone dissolve nail polish?
a nonpolar solvent will dissolve a nonpolar solute
