Polar covalent molecule is where one element in the bond is more electronegative and holds the shared electrons closer to itself. Non polar covalent bonds is where they're evenly between each element.

How does the difference between polar and nonpolar molecules affect their interactions?

it makes them dissolve in water easier.


What are the physical differences between polar and nonpolar molecules?

polarity... polar is the mid- range; nonpolar is the least polar.


Explain why nonpolar substances generally do not dissolve in polar solvents?

No. Water has polar molecules so only polar molecules will dissolve in water. Nonpolar molecules will only dissolve in nonpolar solvents. For example, lipids will dissolve in ethanol.


What polar molecules are attracted to water?

Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.


Is bacteria and virus polar or non polar?

Bacteria and viruses are not molecules and are neither polar nor nonpolar. The contain both polar and nonpolar molecules.

How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
