To determine if something is polar, you can look at its molecular structure and check if there is an uneven distribution of charge. If there is a separation of positive and negative charges within the molecule, it is considered polar.

How can one determine if something is polar?

To determine if something is polar, you can look at its molecular structure and check if it has polar bonds or an uneven distribution of charge. If the molecule has polar bonds or an uneven distribution of charge, it is considered polar.


What is the relation of non-polar and polar in water?

In water, a polar molecule, the non-polar molecules are generally not miscible or soluble. Due to differences in polarity, they tend to separate rather than mix. This can be seen when oil, a non-polar substance, does not readily dissolve in water, a polar substance.

Should you try to dissolve a compound in water to determine if it is polar?

This method may work in certain cases, but many polar compounds are immiscible in water. An example would be fatty acids: polar by definition, but can be insoluble in H2O as their tail length increases


Non polar gases are poorly soluble in water Why?

Because water is polar. Something that is non-polar doesn't dissolve in water because "like dissolves like."
