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.

Is ice non polar?

No. Ice is simply solid water, which is polar.


Does a non-polar covalent bond like or dislike water?

A non-polar covalent bond does not interact strongly with water because water is a polar molecule due to its uneven distribution of charge. Non-polar covalent bonds have no significant attraction or repulsion towards water molecules.


What type of non metals?

Is glycerol soluble in non-polar solvents?

No, glycerol is not soluble in non-polar solvents due to its polar nature. Glycerol has hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, making it more soluble in polar solvents like water.


Non polar gases are poorly soluble in water Why?

Because water is polar. Something that is non-polar doesn't dissolve in water because "like dissolves like."

Why oil is not dissolve in water?

oil is non-polar, so cannot form bonds with the water molecules - water molecules are polar, and hydrogen-bond to each other so for a substance to dissolve in water is must also be polar in order to form hydrogen bonds or permanent dipole - permanent dipole bonds.
