Unless it's substituted with polar groups, propane, like all alkanes, is non-polar.

1-chloropropane is polar, while 2-chloropropane is not because of the symmetrical charge distribution. However, Cl is more electronegative than C.

Petroleum Ether, or Petrol, is made mostly of hydrocarbons and this makes it non-polar. Petrol has no ethers present on the molecules.

What can you dissolve in propane?

Liquid propane can dissolve many non-polar compounds such as lipids, hydrocarbonds, halogenated hydrocarbons (with exception to fluorocarbons), etc. Substances such as water are too polar and are more attracted to itself than non-polar substances and thus do not dissolve.

no its not, i think no alkanes are polar, including C3H8 (propane) because they have an even distribution of hydrogens and carbons because it is a saturated molecule


Why is propanone polar?

Propane itself is non polar, but the presence of the ketone group (C=O) in propanone makes it a polar molecule (oxygen has partial -ve charge). As propanone is a small molecule it can be soluble in water, which itself is polar.


What is the name for substances that do dissolve in water?

Substances that do not dissolve in water are called "insoluble" or "non-soluble." For water (a polar molecule), anything non-polar will not dissolve, including hexane, methane, ethane, propane, octane, oils, waxes, and plastics.
