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.

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.


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 substance can not dissovle in water?

Any non-polar substance will not dissolve in water (insoluble).


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.


What term may be used to describe a substance that is hydrophobic?

A substance that is hydrophobic is often referred to as water-repellent or nonpolar, meaning it does not interact well with water molecules and tends to repel them.


What kind of substance cannot dissolve in water?

A non-polar substance especially the one that does not react with water... Have you seen a powder not dissolving in water? its possible. take some amount of sulphur and put it in water. it will be floating in water. wont dissolve.


Is garlic a polar substance?

No, garlic is not a polar substance. Garlic is predominantly composed of nonpolar molecules such as sulfur compounds and lipids. These molecules do not have a significant charge separation, which is characteristic of polar substances.


Is garlic powder a polar substance?

Garlic powder itself is not considered a polar substance; it is primarily composed of non-polar compounds. While garlic contains some polar components, such as certain sulfur compounds, the powder form is typically a mixture of various compounds, many of which are non-polar. In general, the solubility of garlic powder in water is low, indicating its non-polar characteristics.


What is a example of a non polar bond?
