What happens when polar molecules are between oppositely charged metal plates?

When polar molecules are placed between oppositely charged metal plates they will align themselves. They align in the direction of the field.


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


Is a covalent bond neutral?

Molecules can be polar or non-polar; bonds are what hold molecules together, but they are not in themselves polar or non-polar. I should point out that the most famous polar molecule in the world, the water molecule, does have covalent bonds.


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.


What do dipole dipole forces do?

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.


What would mix the best with water non polar molecules polar molecules fatty molecules symmetrical molecules?

Polar molecules are mixed better with water.


how do you explain what polar molecules are?

Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds.


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.


Are sugars non polar Molecules?

No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.
