What are solids that dissolve in liquid?
Kind of a vague question, but perhaps you mean what are solutes? A solute is a substance, often a solid, which dissolves in a solvent, often a liquid. This leads to a discussion about polar and non-polar solutes and solvents. Generally speaking, polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. This is the chemical principle of "like dissolves like." Polarity is determined by unshared electrons causing partial charge differences across a molecule.
How do you dissolve plastics?
With solvents. The kind of solvent depends on the "plastic" involved. Polystyrene dissolves in benzene or toluene Polyurethane (not the thermoplastic which is insoluble in most solvents) can dissolve in acetone. Polyethylene is resistant to most organic solvents. Styrofoam will dissolve in the isopropanol solvents used in some glues. This can be helpful or hindering when working with arts and crafts.
What kind of bond involves an even sharing of electrons?
A nonpolar covalent bond involves an even sharing of electrons.
Polar molecules mix well with what kind of molecule?
quite simply: polar. Polar mixes well with polar. Nonpolar mixes well with nonpolar.
What kind of covalent bond involves an even sharing of electrons?
A nonpolar covalent bond involves an even sharing of electrons.

What kind of particle would move through a cell membrane the easiest- small or large-polar or nonpolar?
Small and nonpolar.
What are some different solutes?
for wat type af substance i dont really care what kind just a list of easy to obtain solutes
What kind of solute has little tendency to become gas?
The solid solutes.
Are Solvents of any kind are dangerous to pregnant women?
yes
What kind of endocytosis that take in small dissovled molecules solutes or fluids?
pinocytosis
What kind of chemical bond occurs by the equal sharing of atoms?
nonpolar covalent bond.
Water is nicknamed this kind of solvent because it dissolves so many solutes?
Universal Solvent.
What kind of matter is not very soluble?
Metals and Wood
What is nutrition and what are the different kind of nutrients. Give a short description of all the types?
they are water soluble and fat soluble
