molecules become polar because of the considerable electronegativity difference the constituent atoms......a more electronegative atom attracts the shared electron pair towrads itself giving it a partial negative charge while the other atom gains a partial positive charge.....this accounts for the polar nature of some organic molecules..

Why do oil and water hate each other?

Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.


What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?

ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.

how do you explain what polar molecules are?

Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds.


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 do polar and non-polar bonds interact with each other?

Polar molecules reacts with polar molecules and non-polar molecules react with non-polar molecules.


Are non-polar molecules more attracted to other non-polar molecules or polar molecules?

Non-polar molecules are generally more attracted to other non-polar molecules due to the similar distribution of electronic charge. This attraction is known as London dispersion forces. Polar molecules tend to interact with other polar molecules through stronger dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding.


Are hexane molecules polar?

No, hexane molecules are non-polar.


Is gas polar?

Yes, gas molecules can be polar if they have an uneven distribution of electrons leading to partial positive and negative charges. Examples of polar gases include water vapor and hydrogen fluoride.


What is polar in science?

Anything to do with the north and south poles. Water molecules (and some others) have polar regions.


If water has no net charge explain why it attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules?

Water attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules because water has polar molecules. Water does have a net dipole though it doesn't have net charge.
