It can hydrogen-bond. The H atoms of one water molecule are attracted to the partial negative charge on the O atom of another molecule.

Is coconut water non-polar?
coconut water is non polar
Is n-octane polar?
water is polar and immiscible with the non-polar octanol.
Does polar or non polar dissolve in water?
polar
Why do oil and water hate each other?
Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.
What is the relation of non-polar and polar in water?
What is the relation of non-polar and polar in water?
Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
Does water have polar or non polar covalent bonds?
polar
What is the difference between polar lipids and non polar lipids?
Polar lipids form bilayers spontaneously in water while non-polar lipids face towards the "non-polar" side of the cell being non water-soluble.
Why does hexane not form a solution with water?
Water is a polar molecule (is a dipole, has a positive end and a negative end), hexane is a non-polar molecule. Like dissolves like. Water will dissolve other polar molecules, like HCl and NH3. Hexane will dissolve non-polar molecules like benzene or toluene.
Is octadecane non polar?
It is non polar because you need a surfactant to dissolve it in water (a polar liquid).
Non polar gases are poorly soluble in water Why?
Because water is polar. Something that is non-polar doesn't dissolve in water because "like dissolves like."
Are kerosene and oil soluble?
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
