What else can I help you with?
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.
Are fatty acids polar molecules?
Yes, fatty acids are polar molecules.
Do polar molecules have lone pairs?
Yes, polar molecules can have lone pairs of electrons.
What kinds of molecules do water dissolve?
It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.
Why does non polar molecules repel water molecules?
Because it is like a magnatizing ordeal so to say and it just bounces of non polar molcuels. :)
Why are Polar molecules unable to go across unless?
Polar molecules are unable to easily cross biological membranes because the interior of the membrane is hydrophobic, repelling the polar molecules. This prevents them from passing through via simple diffusion. To overcome this barrier, polar molecules usually require the assistance of specific transport proteins or channels to facilitate their movement across the membrane.
Why is a lipid bilayer incellmembrane considered as a barrier to the diffusion of polar molecules?
Polar molecules are hydrophilic in nature. They tend to repel from the lipid content and would easily adhere or mix with the water molecules. A lipid bi-layer consists of lipids and so it would not allow the polar molecules to pass through.
Gasoline is not solubal in water because gasoline is?
Gasoline is hydrophobic because the molecules are non-polar. Only polar molecules are soluble in water.
What is hydrophobic substances?
fats, oils, lipids are all hydrophobic.
How do large polar molecules pass through the membrane?
Large polar molecules pass through the membrane by using specific transport proteins that facilitate their movement across the lipid bilayer.
Which of these molecules is polar?
Which of these molecules is polar
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.
Is normal saline polar?
Yes, normal saline (0.9% NaCl solution) is a polar substance because it is composed of water molecules and ions (Na+ and Cl-) that have uneven distribution of charge across their structure, making them polar molecules overall.
Why are fat soluble molecules the only molecules that permeate across a cell membrane?
Because small non polar molecules are the ones able to cross due to the fact that the membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer where the middle is composed on non polar tails
What do dipole dipole forces do?
Hold polar molecules together
how do you explain what polar molecules are?
Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds.
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.
