Yes, this is why a polar substance will create a stable solution with another polar substance, such as starch into water. A non-polar molecule such as oil will however not be attracted to water and therefore not form a stable solution. By stable solution I mean (basically) that if you mix the two together that it will stay that way.
A polar molecule has a partial positive charge at one end and a partial positive charge at the other. The partially positive end of one molecule attracts the partially negative end of another, and vice versa, as opposite charges attract. This works in a very similar manner to how the opposite poles for magnets attract one another.
Polar molecules have weak charged ends of the molecule. One atom at one end has a stronger attraction for atoms than the atom at the other end. The atom that attrats the electrons more strongly get a partial negative charge, not a complete neg charge which would form an ion. The other end gets a partial positive charge. Two adjacent mlecules will align so that one positive attracts one neg..
Water is a polar molecule! Because of this uneven distribution of charge, water is also called a polar compound.
Yes, it is correct.
yes it is
It doesn't. Only other polar molecules.
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
No.Water can't dissolve non-polar molecules. Water is a polar molecule. Since polar molecules can only dissolve with polar molecules, and non-polar molecules can only dissolve with non-polar molecules, water and non-polar molecules don't react together. Exception:- Some very small non-polar molecules can dissolve in water, like oxygen (O2)
Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.
In general, polar molecules. Oil, a no polar substance, does not dissolve in water.
Because water is polar, and polar solvants will dissolve polar solutes. :)
It doesn't. Only other polar molecules.
non polar molecules dissolve in fat due to the fact that fat is also a nonpolar molecule, and have u ever heard of the saying "like dissolves in like" well non polar molecules dissolve in other non polar molecules. Hope that helps
No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.
Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.
Because water molecules have partially charged atoms.
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.
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.
No.Water can't dissolve non-polar molecules. Water is a polar molecule.

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.
