Nonpolar molecules - only have dispersion forces, have relatively low boiling points compared to polar, ionic, etc, do not conduct electricity
Polar molecules - also have dispersion forces, have dipole forces (between pos. and neg. ions), can have Hydrogen bonds (if there's an H connected to either an N, O, or F)
Ionic compounds - much higher b.p.'s than molecules, most transition metals form ionic compounds (SnCl2)

Is ionic compounds polar or non-polar?
Ionic compounds generally are more soluble in polar solvents than in non-polar. Strictly polar compound is a term applied to compounds with a polar covalent bond
What is polar organic compound?
organic compounds are basically composed of carbon atoms.polar organic compounds are those compounds in which the organic compounds have the properties of polar compounds.
What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?
Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.
Why don't polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?
Polar compounds have poles that have a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge that attract other polar molecules. Nonpolar compounds do not have partially charged poles, so the polar substance is not attracted to them and they don't dissolve.
Can ethers dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds?
No it's false nonpolar compounds usually do not dissolve in polar solvents.
Is ionic compounds polar or non-polar?

How water disssolves ion compounds and polar compounds?
Like dissolves like. Water is polar solvent and hence it dissolves ionic and polar compounds.
What is polar organic compound?
organic compounds are basically composed of carbon atoms.polar organic compounds are those compounds in which the organic compounds have the properties of polar compounds.
Hydrophilic compounds polar or non polar?
Hydrophilic compounds are polar or ionic and this is the reason for attraction of water towards these substances.
What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?
Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.
What are two major characteristics of molecular compounds?
Low melting and boiling points. Some are polar and some are nonpolar. Those that are polar will dissolve in water. They also do not conduct electricity.
Is an ionic compound considered to be a polar or non polar compound?
ionic compounds are polar compounds because they have charge separation between them
Why don't polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?
Polar compounds have poles that have a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge that attract other polar molecules. Nonpolar compounds do not have partially charged poles, so the polar substance is not attracted to them and they don't dissolve.
How are polar and non-polar compounds different?
H2 non-polar (equal sharing) H20 polar (uneven sharing)
Can ethers dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds?
No it's false nonpolar compounds usually do not dissolve in polar solvents.
Do polar compounds have stronger or weaker attractions between molecules?
Polar compounds have stronger attractions between molecules.
Why are salts soluble in water and not oils?
Because salts and water are polar compounds; oil components are not polar compounds.
