What else can I help you with?
How do you predict if the substance is polar slightly polar or non-polar by looking at its structure?
If all sides are the same its non-polar, but if they are different then the substance is polar.
Is oil-based paints polar non polar or both?
polar refers to a substance that dissolves readily in water (sugars) non-polar refers to a substance that does not dissolve readily in water (fats, oils)
Is polar bond stronger than non polar bond?
metal will conduct elecricity
How do you dissolve non polar components?
according to like dissolve like principle non-polar component dissolved by non polar substance like benzene
Is lycopene a polar or non polar substance?
Lycopene is a nonpolar substance because it is a hydrocarbon with long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which do not have significant electronegativity differences to create polarity.
Are polar molecules stronger than non- polar molecules?
Yes. In polar bonds, electrons between atoms are shared unequally. The more electronegative atom has a high electron affinity, pulling the shared electron (and ajacent atom) closer to it, creating a shorter, stronger bond.
Why do non polar molecules usually have a much lower surface tension than polar ones?
Non-polar molecules do not have dipole moments, which results in weaker intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces. These weaker forces lead to lower surface tension compared to polar molecules, which have stronger intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding. The strength of intermolecular forces plays a significant role in determining surface tension.
What is the relation of non-polar and polar in water?
In water, a polar molecule, the non-polar molecules are generally not miscible or soluble. Due to differences in polarity, they tend to separate rather than mix. This can be seen when oil, a non-polar substance, does not readily dissolve in water, a polar substance.
What is stronger non polar covalent or polar covalent?
There is no general answer to this question: One of the strongest of covalent bonds is that between two nitrogen atoms in a nitrogen molecule, which is non polar covalent. In contrast, a carbon-carbon single bond, also usually non polar covalent, is relatively weak. The polar covalent bond between hydrogen and fluorine in the gas phase is very strong, while a hydrogen-iodine bond is relatively weak.
What substance can not dissovle in water?
Any non-polar substance will not dissolve in water (insoluble).
Is ethanol a stronger substance than water?
Ethanol is considered a stronger substance than water in terms of its ability to dissolve non-polar molecules, due to its organic nature and polar characteristics. However, in terms of hydrogen bonding and other physical properties, water is considered stronger due to its higher boiling point, heat capacity, and surface tension compared to ethanol.
How to know if a substance is a polar or not?
First of all you have to draw the Lewis dot structure of the molecule. If the molecule is symmetrical, it's non-polar. If the molecule is non-symmetrical or asymmetrical, then the molecule is polar.
