Hexane is C6H14 and looks like 6 carbon atoms strung in a zigzag line with 2 hydrogen atoms attached at each carbon and an endcap hydrogen atom each at the ends of the chain.

Why is hexane nonpolar?
hexane is made up of completely Carbon and Hydrogen molecules with the formula for n-hexane being C6H14. Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities, which means neither of them will particularily hog the shared electrons. In the case of the most known polar molecule, water, we see the water with a high electronegativity polar convalently bond with hydrogen and hold the electron closer to itself. Because of this, the positive hydrogen will weakly bond with other oxygen molecules, known as polar bonding.
What does the gas chromatography graph of a Tolulene-hexane mixture look like?
i think the answer is cheese. which in french is "fromage"...
How does an organic molecule look like?
Any organic molecule contain carbon.
Which liquid has a higher surface tension glycerol or hexane?
Glycerol has high surface tension because it has strong intermolecular attraction due to polarity in molecules while hexane is a non polar molecule.
What type of bond is a pentane?
n-hexane is the unbranched alkane C6H14. All the bonds in the molecule are covalent. the bonds between the molecules are the weak London dispersive forces, n-hexane has a melting point of around -96 0C and a boiling point of around 68 0C.
Which of the following liquids is hexane most likely to dissolve?
NaCl will not dissolve in Hexane because NaCl is a polar molecule and Hexane is a non-polar molecule. NaCl is insoluble in Hexane. On the other hand, NaCl will dissolve in water because both are polar molecules. "Like dissolves like".
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.
Does iodine dissolve in hexane?
water is a polar molecule, hexane is non polar. substances with like polarities mix, therefore the non polar iodine mixes with hexane and not water
What does the molecular model of petrol look like?
Like hexane model here.
What is the structures of ethyl acetate and hexane?
Hexane is the alkane with six carbon atoms and is a linear molecule. Ethyl acetate CH3COOCH3 is an ester.
Is hexane polar or non polar?
Hexane is nonpolar. It consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together in a linear structure, resulting in a symmetrical distribution of electron density and no permanent dipole moment.

Why is hexane insoluble in water and methylene chloride is soluble in water?
Hexane is not a polar molecule, and thus is not soluble in water. Methylene chloride is not soluble in water for the same reason.
Is hexane soluble in ethanol?
No, because "like" disolves "like". Ethanol is polar. Hexane is nonpolar.
Is carbon tetra hexane an inorganic molecule?
The is not molecule called carbon tetrahexane. Perhaps you are thinking of the molecule that would be called 7,7-dihexyl tridecane. This molecules is organic.

Are water and hexane miscible or immiscible?
Hexane and water are not miscible as the water is a polar solvent and hexane is a non-polar solvent, hence it is immiscible. There is a proverb that like dissolves like.
