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.


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.


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.


Is soda polar?

Yes, soda is generally polar because it is composed of water and various dissolved substances (sugar, flavorings, etc.) which are hydrophilic and form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.


Is normal saline polar?

Yes, normal saline (0.9% NaCl solution) is a polar substance because it is composed of water molecules and ions (Na+ and Cl-) that have uneven distribution of charge across their structure, making them polar molecules overall.


What type of molecules interact with water polar or nonpolar?

Polar molecules interact with water because water is a polar molecule itself. Nonpolar molecules do not interact with water because they do not have regions of positive and negative charge like polar molecules do.


how do you explain what polar molecules are?

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


Are water molecules polar or unpolar?

They are polar


Why are polar molecules soluble in water?

Polar molecules are soluble in water because water is a polar molecule itself. This means that water has a positive and negative end, allowing it to attract and surround other polar molecules, dissolving them easily.


Is water composed of polar bonds?

Yes, water has polar bonds, and is a very polar molecule.


Why do water molecules break up other polar molecules?

Water molecules break up other polar molecules through a process called hydration or solvation. The partially positive and negative charges on water molecules allow them to surround and interact with polar molecules, causing them to break apart or dissolve in water. This is due to the strong electrostatic interactions between water and polar molecules.


Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?

Charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules through electrostatic interactions. The partial charges on these molecules allow them to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which helps them become evenly dispersed throughout the solution. This enables them to dissolve and form a homogenous mixture with water.
