No, they can't. Non-polar implies that they do not have ANY electrostatic interaction or forces holding them together. Van der Waal forces are insufficient to hold molecules in a crystalline structure.

What polar molecules are attracted to water?
Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.
Are all covalent bonded molecules polar molecules?
No. Two atoms of similar or identical electronegativity would form a nonpolar covalent bond.
Is toluene polar nonpolar or ionic?
Most hydrocarbons are non-polar molecules. Examples include Toluene and Gasoline
Is sodium metal composed of molecular crystals?
No, sodium or any other metal will form crystals of individual atoms, not molecules.
Describe the polarity of alkane molecules?
Alkane molecules are nonpolar.
What does not form crystals but do form molecules?
gold
Can water form covalent bonds with nonpolar molecules?
No. It can't.
What are molecules that do not have opposite charged ends?
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
What do nonpolar molecule have?
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Explain why some salts form crystals?
They already are molecules but they all form crystals.
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What molecules are not attracted to polar molecules?
Nonpolar
What is the term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules?
Nonpolar solvent
