A non-polar molecule cannot dissolve into water. For example butter, oil, and sand cannot dissolve in water because they are non polar molecules. Adding these to water forms a suspension instead of a solution.
This is due to the configuration of water molecules. Water is a polar molecule and attracts and dissolves other polar molecules but doesn't attract non-polar molecules.
Oil is one substance that won't dissolve in water because they have different densities, so oil floats on top.

Which type of molecules polar or non polar dissolve in water?
A non polar solute. remember, like dissolves like
Why can water dissolves many substanes?

What is transferred from each HC1 molecule to a water molecule when hydrogen chloride gas dissolves in water?
When hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas dissolves in water, hydronium ions (H3O+) and a chloride ions (Cl-) form. To form the hydronium ions, the hydrogen atoms of the HCl gas are transferred to the water molecule to form the hydronium ions.
Water dissolves many ionic and molecular compounds why?
because it is a polar molecule
Why is water very effective at dissolving other polar substances?
water is an effective solvent because it is a polar molecule, it dissolves other polar substances, and it dissolves ionic compounds. that is why it is called the "universal solvent" due to the geometry of the water molecule itself
Discuss how water can dissolve a molecular compond?
Water dissolves some molecular compounds because water is a polar molecule.
What has the ability to bond water to itself?
The cause is the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules.Any hydrophilic molecule that dissolves in water make H-bonding with water molecules
Sugar dissolves in water because both are made up of?
Sugar (sucrose) dissolves in water because it is a polar molecule, owed namely to its many -OH groups. Remember that water (H-OH) is a very polar molecule. Both molecules share the -OH group that contributes to their polarity.
Are nonpolar molecules soluble in water?
Nonpolar molecules are generally not soluble in water because water is a polar molecule and like dissolves like.
Does the temperature affect the speed at whih the salt dissolves in water and why?
yes, because salt is polar molecule
Is it true that everything dissolves in water?
Not everything dissolves in water. Substances like oil and plastic do not dissolve in water because they are nonpolar, while water is a polar molecule. Only substances with similar polarity can dissolve in water.
