No, H2O (water) and CH2O (formaldehyde) do not easily dissolve in each other because they have different chemical structures and polarities. Water is a polar molecule due to its unequal sharing of electrons, while formaldehyde is a nonpolar molecule, resulting in a weak interaction between the two substances.
Butane is a nonpolar molecule, while water is a polar molecule. Nonpolar molecules like butane are not attracted to the polar water molecules, making it insoluble in water. This lack of interaction between the molecules prevents butane from dissolving in water.
An example of dipole-induced dipole forces is the interaction between a polar molecule, such as water, and a nonpolar molecule, such as nitrogen. The polar molecule induces a temporary dipole in the nonpolar molecule, creating an attractive force between the two molecules. This type of interaction helps explain why some substances can dissolve in water even if they are nonpolar.
Chloroform is not soluble in water because it is a nonpolar molecule, while water is a polar molecule. Polar substances like water tend to dissolve in other polar substances, and nonpolar substances like chloroform tend to dissolve in other nonpolar substances. This difference in polarity prevents chloroform from effectively mixing or dissolving in water.
Hydrocarbons and other nonpolar molecules are not attracted to water because they are nonpolar themselves, causing them to be hydrophobic. This is due to the difference in polarity between water (a polar molecule) and nonpolar molecules, preventing them from forming hydrogen bonds and leading to low solubility in water.

A molecule that is both hydrophobic and polar has a nonpolar region that repels water (hydrophobic) and a polar region that interacts with water (polar). This unique combination of properties allows the molecule to dissolve in both water and nonpolar solvents.
A nonpolar liquid cannot dissolve polar molecules.

Water and oil have different properties because they are made up of different molecules. Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a positive and negative end, which allows it to dissolve other polar substances. Oil, on the other hand, is a nonpolar molecule, so it does not mix well with water. This difference in molecular structure leads to their distinct behaviors and properties.
I will assume Hsub2O is H2O [water] Water is a polar molecule.

Molecules with polar hydrophobic properties have a nonpolar region that repels water and a polar region that interacts with water. This creates a molecule that is both attracted to and repelled by water, making it hydrophobic.
A nonpolar liquid cannot dissolve polar molecules.
Nonpolar molecules are generally not soluble in water because water is a polar molecule and like dissolves like.
A molecule is polar if it has a positive and negative end, while being hydrophobic means it repels water. To be both polar and hydrophobic, a molecule must have a polar region that interacts with water and a nonpolar region that repels water. This dual nature allows the molecule to be both attracted to and repelled by water.
