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.)
Covalent.
Ionic compounds are solid at room temperature unless dissolved in water.
Yes, Vegetable Oil is covalent
covalent
Covalent.
Ionic
Oil is made up of hydrocarbons, so it consists of chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to each other.
No. If oil did have a polar covalent bond, that would make it hydrophilic (attracted to water) and oil is hydrophobic (repels water). All the covalent bonds in the hydrocarbon tails are non-polar covalent.
Oils are complex mixtures of many organic compounds (nonionic compounds). All chemical compounds contain molecules.
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.
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.
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).
Butter is a type of oil made from saturated fat, which are made from hydrocarbon molecules. A hydrocarbon is a compound containing only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. Both of those are covalent bonds.
Salt + Vegetable oil . The salt is the ionic solid and the vegetable oil is the nonpolar liquid
Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is also ionic compound and insoluble in kerosene oil because there is covalent bonds
Candle wax is covalent! Olive oil is non polar covalent. Because it can not disolve in water and water is polar.
Sun flower oil is an unsaturated fat, basically a glycerol head and long chains of carbon hydrogen bonds. So, definitely 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.
