Polar molecules have charges that non-polar molecules do not have. It is the reason why non-polar molecules can move through the lipid bilayer quicker than the polar molecules.

If water has no net charge explain why it attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules?

Water attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules because water has polar molecules. Water does have a net dipole though it doesn't have net charge.


Why non polar molecules diffuse more rapidly through membranes than polar molecules?

The implication of non-polar molecules diffusing more rapidly than polar molecules to the transport of substances through the plasma membrane is quite significant. Concentrate gradients are established which facilitate the transport of vital molecules.

Why do ionic compounds behave somewhat like polar molecules in a solution?

Because they dissociate into charged ions. Because they dissociate into charged ions.


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 do dipole dipole forces do?

Hold polar molecules together


how do you explain what polar molecules are?

Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds.


Are sugars non polar Molecules?

No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.


How do polar and non-polar bonds interact with each other?

Polar molecules reacts with polar molecules and non-polar molecules react with non-polar molecules.


Are non-polar molecules more attracted to other non-polar molecules or polar molecules?

Non-polar molecules are generally more attracted to other non-polar molecules due to the similar distribution of electronic charge. This attraction is known as London dispersion forces. Polar molecules tend to interact with other polar molecules through stronger dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding.


Are hexane molecules polar?

No, hexane molecules are non-polar.


What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?

Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
