Could somebody explain the phrase like dissolves like?
This means that substances are more likely to dissolve in other substances with similar chemical properties. It is most often used when discussing polar and nonpolar solvents. For example, oil will not dissolve in water because oil is nonpolar and water is polar. Basically, a polar solvent will generally dissolve polar solutes and sometimes ionic solutes, and a nonpolar solvent will generally dissolve nonpolar solutes.
If the north pole of the bar magnet suspends the first nail by attraction what is the nail's polarity?
When turned on, yes they do. Even after turned off, some of the charge from the electricity involved will have slightly changed the material that is magnetized. The poles will be there, yet seldom very strong.
What is the name for the property of water in which it sticks to other substances?
The attraction between water molecules and another substance is called adhesion. An example of this phenomenon is the absorption of water by a towel. Water molecules are also attracted to each other by cohesion. Adhesion and cohesion of water are both caused by the polarity of water molecules. Molecules are said to be polar if they have opposite electrical charges at different ends of the molecule. Nonpolar molecules have none or evenly distributed charges (oil is an example of a nonpolar substance). Since opposite charges attract, water is attracted to other polar (or ionic) substances.
