Best Answer

Actually, water, by hydrogen bonding with itself and not the nonpolar substances excludes the nonpolar substances from hydrogen bonding and turns them into associations with each other. Natural water can hydrogen bond with many polar and charged substances.

What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?

Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.

How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
