Do metallic bonded molecules dissolve in water?

No


The boiling temperature of water is so much higher than that of methane because water molecules are what?

Water is polar and is strongly hydrogen bonded.


What is hydrated ions?

Hydrated ions are ions that are surrounded by water molecules in a solution. These water molecules form a shell around the ion, stabilizing it and influencing its chemical behavior in the solution. The presence of hydrated ions is important in various chemical and biological processes.


How does the presence of starch affect the behavior of water molecules?

The presence of starch can affect the behavior of water molecules by forming hydrogen bonds with the water molecules. This can lead to a decrease in the movement of water molecules, causing the water to become more viscous or thick.


What bond(s) is (are) disrupted in the presence of water?

Ionic bonds can be greatly weakened in solution. This is why, for example, table salt dissolves in water. Because of the strong attraction between the ions and water molecules, the attraction between the ions themselves is decreased.


Why are polar covalently bonded molecules soluble in water and non polar are not?

Water is a polar covalent molecule. The partial charges in the molecule attract other charges, ionic or more partial charges from other covalent molecules and dissolves them. Nonpolar bonded molecules have no partial charges and the water molecules will attract each other thus not attracting the nonpolar and does not dissolve them.


Are hydrated ions chemically bonded to water molecules?

Yes, hydrated ions are chemically bonded to water molecules through electrostatic attractions. Water molecules surround the ion and interact with it via hydrogen bonding, resulting in a stable hydrated ion complex.


If Pure covalent compounds are not soluble in water so why sugar dissolves in it?

Sugar dissolves in water because it forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing it to break apart and disperse throughout the water. This interaction is different from solubility due to the presence of pure covalent compounds which do not form these types of bonds with water molecules.


Does sugar dissolve quicker in salt water or soapy water?

Sugar would dissolve faster in soapy water. Sugar dissolving is actually the sugar molecules bonding with the water molecules. In salt water, sodium has already bonded with the water molecules, leaving no room for more bonding with sugar molecules. Soap, on the other hand, is a very mild base. It isn't so much a bonded element with water as it is a mixture. All of the water molecules are still available for bonding with sugar.


Occurs when ionically bonded electrolytes are added to water?

When ionically bonded electrolytes are added to water, they dissociate into ions due to the polar nature of water molecules. This results in the formation of positive and negative ions in solution, which makes the solution conductive. The presence of these ions allows for the flow of electric current in the solution.


How water is connted?

The water is connected by hydrogen bonds. The water molecules are surround by four total of other molecules. They are arranged in hydrogen bonded rings or chains.


What is a chemical reaction where two molecules are bonded with the remival of a water molecule?

Dehydration.
