What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
In polar regions what happens to water molecules at the ocean's surface?
Molecules always react to things so the molecules would most likely freeze but any pollution could change the molecule. say if there were a oil spill then the molecules properties would be oil.
What is hydrophobic substances?
fats, oils, lipids are all hydrophobic.
Which dish detergent breaks up oil the best?
Like dissolves like. Water and oil do not mix because water molecules are polar (i.e., having either a positive or negative charge) and oil molecules are non-polar. Detergent molecules have a polar end and a non-polar end; think of a jellyfish with its head representing the polar side and its tails representing the non-polar end. In water, detergent molecules group themselves to form cage-like micelles, exposing the polar heads to water and shielding the non-polar tails. Detergent's non-polar ends stick to oil, and the detergent's polar head is soluble in water. With sufficient amount of detergent, the detergent molecules trap the oil molecules in cage-like micelles that are soluble in water. Rinse off the detergent with trapped oil and wallah! No more oil and grease! :-)
When would dipole-dipole forces be significant?
When molecules have permanent dipole moments
What would mix the best with water non polar molecules polar molecules fatty molecules symmetrical molecules?
Polar molecules are mixed better with water.
What molecule would mix best with water?
Polar Molecules

ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules ionic molecules nonpolar covalent molecules?
ionic molecules
Is salt solution a conductor or insulator of electricity?
A salt solution in water is a conductor, due to the disassociation of the salt molecules into oppositely charged ions in the presence of the polar water molecules. A salt solution in a nonpolar solvent would likely be an insulator, as the salt molecules probably would not dissociate.
If water were non polar molecule how would its properties be different?
A nonpolar liquid cannot dissolve polar molecules.
Why is a lipid bilayer incellmembrane considered as a barrier to the diffusion of polar molecules?
Polar molecules are hydrophilic in nature. They tend to repel from the lipid content and would easily adhere or mix with the water molecules. A lipid bi-layer consists of lipids and so it would not allow the polar molecules to pass through.
Are hydrocarbons in soluble in water?
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.
What would happen if a fatty acids in a cell membrane were polar molecules?
The cell would dissolve in water.
What would happen if the fatty acids in cell membrane were polar molecules?
The cell would dissolve in water.
What would happened if the fatty acids in a cell membrane were polar molecules?
The cell would dissolve in water.
Water is the greatest solute in the world?
I would definitely classify water as the solvent of life. Water is unusually versatile because its polar molecules are attracted to charged and polar substances and the polarity of water molecules result in hydrogen bonding. The four emergent properties of water contribute to the Earth's "fitness for life." the four properties are cohesion, moderation of temperature, insulation of bodies of water by floating ice and being the solvent of life. The ions and polar substances surrounded by water molecules dissolve and are called solutes.
