Yes. Polar and Non-polar are gradual. For instance, for a bond, an electronegativity difference >1.7 is called ionic, and less than 1.7 is called non-ionic. But the difference is 51% bond polarity versus 50% bond polarity!!
There are London Dispersion Forces (a subset of van der Waals forces) which will always cause molecules to be attracted to each other. The lower the temperature the stronger the attraction. This even applies to helium, which can be condensed into a liquid at 4.2K.
substances that are polar and mix with water are a. hydrolied b. solutes c.hydrophilic d. hydrophobic

∙ 15y agoIn chemistry, the saying goes, "like dissolves like" with respect to polarities. Water, which is polar will mix/dissolve any polar substance. Salt (NaCl) is polar, and therefore it dissolves. All lipids (wax, oil, fat) are non-polar and do not mix with water.

∙ 12y agoPolar substances are only attracted to polar substances. When talking about solvents and solutes, only polar solutes can dissolve in polar solvents. It is the same for Nonpolar solvents as well. So, I hope this helps! :-)

Almost no sugar or salt in petrol and lots of them in water and bit less in ethanol.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoTwo polar substances will mix as will two non-polar substances. However, a polar and a non-polar substance will not mix.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoYes, but generally not as well as polar molecules mix with each other.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoYou it is possible.However it is more favorable if you can mix a polar solution in a polar solution and a non-polar solution in another non-polar solution.

What would mix the best with water non polar molecules polar molecules fatty molecules symmetrical molecules?
Polar molecules are mixed better with water.
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.
What molecule would mix best with water?
Polar Molecules
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.
Is flour made up of polar or nonpolar molecules?
Flour has both polar and non-polar molecules in it. However, most cooking flours have more non-polar molecules, which is why they distribute more evenly in non-polar liquids (like melted butter) than polar (water).
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.
What would mix the best with water non polar molecules polar molecules fatty molecules symmetrical molecules?
Polar molecules are mixed better with water.
Why does hexane not form a solution with water?
Water is a polar molecule (is a dipole, has a positive end and a negative end), hexane is a non-polar molecule. Like dissolves like. Water will dissolve other polar molecules, like HCl and NH3. Hexane will dissolve non-polar molecules like benzene or toluene.
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 molecules interact with water polar or nonpolar?
Polar. Just think of this, oil is non polar, oil doesnt mix with water.
Why is ethyl alcohol a water-miscible solvent?
the reasons for this is that part of the alcohol is polar molecules and part of the molecule is non polar but the alcohol will mix either polar substance or non polar substance
How do polar and non-polar bonds interact with each other?
Polar molecules reacts with polar molecules and non-polar molecules react with non-polar molecules.
How does soap mix with octane?
When soap is mixed with octane the non-polar ends of the soap molecules are attracted with induced-dipole induced-dipole attractions to the non-polar octane molecules. The octane molecules repel the polar ends of the soap and the soap molecules form inverted soap bubbles that attract polar molecules like water.
Water and nonpolar molecules do not easliy mix?
Water and oil doesn't mix because the water is a polar molecule and oil is a non-polar molecule. There will always be more molecules of water than oil.
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.
Is it true thatMolecules that have distinct poles are called polar molecules?
false. they are non polar molecules, not to be confused with polar molecules. non polar molecules lack regions of electrical charge. it mostly has hydrogen and carbon atoms. an example of non polar molecules are fats and waxes.
What molecule would mix best with water?
Polar Molecules
