Non ionized molecule pass through the lipid bilayer faster than ionized molecules because of the hydrophobic portion of the lipid bilayer.
non ionized molecules are ex glucose
ionized molecute Na, K
It depends on molecule size, and it depends on the membrane. Textbooks love to generalize the structure of the cell membrane, but the even membranes of the same species will differ in structure and type of embedded proteins.

small polar molecules

It is called a "phospholipid bilayer". Its made of molecules containing a hydrophilic phosphate head on one side and a hydrophobic lipid hydrocarbon tail on the other. There are essentially two layers of these molecules with the tails facing each other and the heads facing lining the interior and exterior of the cell.

The phospholipid bilayer is the outer layer of the cell. It only lets very small molecules through it. The bigger ones will have to go through the proteins lodged in the bilayer and the HUGE molecules will have to perform exocytosis or endocytosis
oxygen
Molecules that are not polar or ion molecules. That is because they won't be stopped by the hydrophobic tails and they will have the acknowledgement to pass through the cell membrane thanks to little resistance. This makes those molecules have an advantage.
Side-by-side
The framework of the cell membrane is formed by the lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets. This is what provides the barrier that makes the boundaries of the cell.

Letting different molecules in and out of a cell. Chemicals including steroid hormones, reactants and products of respiration...ect. the chemicals have to pass through the phospholipid bilayer (which is made from phosphates and fatty acid chains) molecules pass through the bilayer through passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion and active transport.
