No, both oil and water are covalent compounds. Oil is made up of nonpolar covalent molecules, while water is a polar covalent molecule. Ionic compounds are typically formed between metals and nonmetals, like salt (NaCl).

Is candle wax ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent also what type of bonding does sugar salt and olive oil have?

Candle wax is covalent! Olive oil is non polar covalent. Because it can not disolve in water and water is polar.


How can you make salt dissolvable in oil?

Salt will dissolve in oil very slightly but not truly. salt is an ionic compound (it has a positive/negative side) and oil is usually covalent (there is no charge). The rule for solubility of compounds is that like dissolves like, so ionic dissolves ionic and covalent dissolves covalent.


Is the oil an ionic or a covalent?

Oil is predominantly composed of nonpolar molecules like triglycerides, which are held together by covalent bonds between the atoms within each molecule. There are no significant ionic interactions in oil.


Is baby oil covalent or ionic compound and why?

Baby oil is a covalent compound; it is organic, based on carbon chemistry, which produces covalent bonds; we also see that it is a liquid and not a solid, which would not be expected if it were an ionic compound. Ionic compounds, except when they dissolve in water, are solid (at normal temperatures).


Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in keroscene oil?

Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is a polar solvent that can easily interact with and separate the ions of the compound, allowing them to dissolve. Kerosene oil, on the other hand, is nonpolar and cannot effectively interact with and separate the ions of the compound, making it insoluble in kerosene oil.


Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in kerosene oil?

Ionic compounds are those which form ions when dissolve in water.water is ionic compound because when it dissolve in water it ionizes in to H+ and OH-Therefore ionic compounds are soluble in water. Ionic compounds are not soluble in kerosine oil because there is covalent bond in it. THANKS FOR WATCHING BY FARIDA REHMAN.


Is oil an ionic or covalent bond?

The bond in oil is primarily covalent. Oil is composed mainly of hydrocarbons, which are formed by covalent bonding between carbon and hydrogen atoms. There are no ionic bonds present in the molecular structure of oil.


Is sunflower oil covalent or ionic?

Sun flower oil is an unsaturated fat, basically a glycerol head and long chains of carbon hydrogen bonds. So, definitely covalent.


Is wax ionic or covalent?

Parafin is another term for hydrocarbons, which contain only carbon-carbon, and carbon-hydrogen single bonds. These atoms are similar in electronegativity, and thus paraffins are covalent compounds.


Is vegetable oil an ionic or covalent bond?

Generally speaking, your oils (canola, olive, vegetable, even baby) are covalent or molecular compounds (they mean the same thing.) Most oils are some combination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and maybe another element or two. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are all non-metals, and non-metals bond to each other covalently, which means they share electrons. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, involve a transfer of electrons, and result in the bonding of metals with non-metals (not the case with oil.)


Does the ionic end of soap dissolves in oil?

No, the ionic end of soap dissolves in water, not oil. The ionic end of soap is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water molecules. It is the nonpolar end of soap that dissolves in oil, as it is hydrophobic and repels water.


Does salt dissolve in mineral oil?

Oil, being a non-polar covalent compound is not soluble in water, which is a polar solvent. Salts (not limited to NaCl, but all ionic salts,) being ionic compounds that disassociate in solution to form charged ions, are highly soluble in water.
