ionic molecules


What do nonpolar covalent molecules share?

Nonpolar Covalent Bonds share electrons


Why are polar covalently bonded molecules soluble in water and non polar are not?

Water is a polar covalent molecule. The partial charges in the molecule attract other charges, ionic or more partial charges from other covalent molecules and dissolves them. Nonpolar bonded molecules have no partial charges and the water molecules will attract each other thus not attracting the nonpolar and does not dissolve them.


Nonpolar solvents will most easily dissolve solids that are?

Covalent


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 SO2 covalent or nonpolar covalent?

Sulfur dioxide is a polar molecules with polar covalent bonds.


What Can Water Not Dissolve?

Water is a universal solvent and can dissolve many substances, but it cannot dissolve non-polar substances like oil, grease, and some plastics. These substances do not have a charge and therefore do not interact well with water molecules.


Can water form covalent bonds with nonpolar molecules?

No. It can't.


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.


Does covalent substances conduct electricity in benzene?

Benzene is nonpolar and thus will only dissolve nonpolar substances. Covalent substances is vague, but even if benzene were to dissolve nonpolar solutes, they would not conduct electricity because the current has no ions or delocalized electrons to travel across.


Do diatomic elements have nonpolar covalent bonds?

Diatomic molecules have non-polar covalent bonds and are non-polar molecules


Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?

No, because water is polar and polar dissolves in polar then non polar covalent bond cannot dissolve in water.
