How does water interact with non polar substances?
Water does not interact well with nonpolar substances because they do not have large enough dipoles to cause water to interact with them and not other water molecules. Water is said to squeeze nonpolar molecules together because of the hydrophobic effect it of nonpolar compounds.
How many bonds are in water?
There are 2 bonds in water(H2O) but molecules of water will interact with each other through hydrogen bonding.
How do water molecules interact with charged material?
Water molecules are polar. Charged particles such as ions attract water molecules. Positive ions often have a "shell" of water molecules around them, pointing their negative O atoms at the central ion, both in solution and in the solid forms (hydrates)
Why does salt prevent water from being frozen?
It causes a freezing point depression. The more salt you add to water the lower the temperature has to fall to cause it to freeze until you reach the cryohydric point. The cryohydric point for water with NaCl is about 29% NaCl at -22 C. Water molecules have to interact with each other to form ice crystals, when they interact with a salt molecule nothing happens. So the more salt that dissolves into the water the harder it is for water molecules interact with each other to form ice crystals.
How are the water molecules different than the neon molecules?
Well, water (H2O) does exist as molecules, which are the smallest representative particles of water. However, neon (Ne) is an element, which means its smallest representative particle is the atom.
Which molecules are able to interact with water?
Hydrophilic molecules
Molecules that are insoluble in water or do not readily interact with water are said to be?
Hydrophobic.
What does soap do to the polarity of a water molecule?
the soap contains amphipathic molecules which can interact with hydrophobic as well as hydrophillic solvents. the hydrophilic end will interact with the water molecules whereas hydrophobic ends will concentrate at a very small portion and as a result a micell formation takes place.
What does hydrophollic mean?
Refers to molecules, or portions of molecules, that interact with water and charged particles
How does water interact with non polar substances?
Water does not interact well with nonpolar substances because they do not have large enough dipoles to cause water to interact with them and not other water molecules. Water is said to squeeze nonpolar molecules together because of the hydrophobic effect it of nonpolar compounds.
Are sugars non polar Molecules?
No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.
How many different molecules can one water molecule interact with?
2
What is a type of molecule that interact with water by dissolving in water and or forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules?
hydrophilic
Do honey molecules interact more stronger than water molecules?
No, honey molecules do not interact more strongly than water molecules. Honey is a syrupy liquid that is composed mostly of water molecules, along with other compounds such as sugars. The intermolecular forces between water molecules, such as hydrogen bonding, are generally stronger than the forces between honey molecules, making water more cohesive and having a higher surface tension than honey.
What type of organic molecule requires the action of emulsifiers to be sucessfully digested?
Fat molecules. Water molecule is polar, and therefore water is a good solvent for other polar molecules, dissolving them when they come in contact with one another. Water is not a good solvent for nonpolar molecules, such as fats. A fat has no polar grups to interact with water molecules. An emulsifier, however, can cause a fat to disperse in water. An emulsifier contains molecules with both polar and nonpolar ends. When the nonpolar ends interact with the fat and the polar ends interact with the water molecule, the fat disperses in water, and an emulsion results.
What type of molecules mix the best with water?
Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.
How many bonds are in water?
There are 2 bonds in water(H2O) but molecules of water will interact with each other through hydrogen bonding.
