The majority of organic compounds (including oils, fats, components of petroleum etc.) are nonpolar. The electrons in these molecules are equally shared between the contained elements.

Is salad oil polar?
nonpolar.
Why does water not dissolve motor oil?
because oil is nonpolar and water is polar
In chemistry what does 'like dissolves like' mean?
'Like dissolves like' is a principle in chemistry that states that substances with similar polarity and intermolecular forces will dissolve in each other. For example, polar substances like water will dissolve other polar substances, while nonpolar substances like oil will dissolve other nonpolar substances. This concept explains why salt (polar) dissolves in water (polar) but not in oil (nonpolar).
How do you identify which is polar and non polar solvent?
Salt + Vegetable oil . The salt is the ionic solid and the vegetable oil is the nonpolar liquid
Is C3H6Br2 polar or non polar?
Nonpolar
Is olive oil polar?
no, its hydrophobic
Do polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?
no, in the case of polar and nonpolar the two do not mix it's like putting olive oil in milk
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.
Is salad oil polar?
nonpolar.
Why doesnt oil dissolve in ocean water?
The reason why oil doesn't dissolve in ocean water is because oil is nonpolar and water is polar.
What type of molecules interact with water polar or nonpolar?
Polar. Just think of this, oil is non polar, oil doesnt mix with water.
Why won't oil mix with water?
because water is polar and oil is nonpolar
Why does water not dissolve motor oil?
because oil is nonpolar and water is polar
Are lipids polar or nonpolar?
Lipids are nonpolar molecules, meaning they do not have a charge separation and are hydrophobic (repel water). This property is due to their long hydrocarbon chains that lack significant electronegative atoms, making them insoluble in water.
Are oil-base paints polar nonpolar or both?
Both
Is mineral oil soluble in a solution ofwater and tetrahydrofuran?
Mineral oil is insoluble in water due to its nonpolar nature, but it is soluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF) as they are both nonpolar compounds. Therefore, mineral oil would likely be soluble in a solution of water and tetrahydrofuran.
C2H2 polar or nonpolar?
C2H2 (Ethyne or Acetylene) is nonpolar because the molecule has a linear geometry with symmetric electronegativity, resulting in an equal distribution of charge and no net dipole moment.
