the best answer i got for yah is There are many non-polar substances. Some are rigorously and completely non-polar (in others, they have zero permanent dipole moment). Others are not perfectly non-polar, but are generally called non-polar compounds because they lack any significant polarity.

Completely non-polar: Nitrogen gas (N2), methane gas (CH4), oxygen gas (O2), chlorine gas (Cl2) (and homogeneous diatomic molecules such Br2, I2, and F2), acetylene (C2H2), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Note that these are all perfectly symmetrical and this is why they are non-polar. The dipole moments of any polar bonds is completely canceled out by equal and opposite dipole moments from the other bonds.

How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?

Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.

Is Diet Coke an example of nonpolar substance?

Diet Coke is not considered a nonpolar substance; it is primarily a polar substance due to its water content and the presence of dissolved ions and polar molecules, such as sweeteners and flavorings. Nonpolar substances typically do not mix well with water and are more likely to consist of hydrocarbons or other similar compounds. Therefore, Diet Coke's properties and composition categorize it as polar.

Does tar dissolve in water?

No, tar does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.


If an unknown solid substance is non polar will it matter if distilled or tap water is used to prepare a solution of this substance?

If the solid substance is nonpolar, it will more likely dissolve better in an organic solvent rather than water. In this case, using distilled or tap water to prepare a solution may not make a significant difference in the solubility of the substance since it is nonpolar and not likely to dissolve well in water regardless.
