Are non-polar molecules more attracted to other non-polar molecules or polar molecules?
Non-polar molecules are more attracted to other non-polar molecules.
What type of organic molecule requires the action of emulsifiers to be sucessfully digested?
Fat molecules. Water molecule is polar, and therefore water is a good solvent for other polar molecules, dissolving them when they come in contact with one another. Water is not a good solvent for nonpolar molecules, such as fats. A fat has no polar grups to interact with water molecules. An emulsifier, however, can cause a fat to disperse in water. An emulsifier contains molecules with both polar and nonpolar ends. When the nonpolar ends interact with the fat and the polar ends interact with the water molecule, the fat disperses in water, and an emulsion results.
Lipis are what molecules because they have no negative and positive molecules?
Polar?
Why do water molecules break up other polar molecules?
Because water is polar, so when a when a polar solute is put in it will dissolve. Like dissolves like. Polar dissolves polar. Likewise, nonpolar dissoves nonpolar.
Give an example of how a functional group can affect the properties of an organic compound?
An atom or group of atoms which gives the specific properties to an organic compound is a functional group or The active part of an organic molecule involved in a chemical reaction is known as the functional group. Examples are, 1-Alcohol R-OH, 2-Carboxylic acid R-COOH, 3-Ether R-O-R, e.t.c
Why are organic molecules that contain oxygen atoms more soluble in water?
Water is a polar molecule, polar molecules are more soluble in other polar molecules. Oxygen helps make organic molecules more polar, and therefore more soluble in water.
Does amine contribute a non polar characteristic to organic molecules?
No - they contribute POLAR charachter
What are lipids of large molecules?
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.
How do organic compounds have a polar-covalent bond?
Organic molecules that contain atoms with a higher/lower electronegativity than C will contain polar covalent bonds. Obvious examples are molecules with O atoms e.g. alcohols, ketones, ethers.
Are there lubricants in washing up liquid?
assuming that 'washing up liquid' means soap, or a soap-water mix, the answer would be yes. soaps are long organic molecules with both a polar and a non polar end, and they can act similar to lubricants (such as motor oil, which is just a mixture of very long organic molecules that are entirely non-polar)
Are non-polar molecules more attracted to other non-polar molecules or polar molecules?
Non-polar molecules are more attracted to other non-polar molecules.
Which of these molecules is polar?
Which of these molecules is polar
What can you conclude from the level of lipid solubility in organic solvents?
Another term for organic solvent is non polar solvent, because it dissolves non polar molecules. A lipid is also a fatty acid as it contains both a charged polar 'head' and a non polar 'tail'. This polar head will tend to interfere with the tail's dissolving in organic solvents, so the longer the non polar tail [to overcome this] of a lipid the greater its solubility.
Carbohydrates and lipids are very large organic molecules Which two bonds do you expect to find most in these molecules?
ANSWER: nonpolar cavalent bonds and polar covalent bonds
Is nail polish polar or non- polar?
Skin is a heterogeneous mixture, composed of many different cells, which are composed of many different compounds. Polarity is decided by the configuration of the molecule. Because it is made of many different molecules, it is neither.
Polar molecules behave as though they?
Polar molecules have charges that non-polar molecules do not have. It is the reason why non-polar molecules can move through the lipid bilayer quicker than the polar molecules.
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.
