Yes with any element with a higher electronegativity. Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55 on the Pauling scale. Checkout the table in wikipedia in the article "electronegativity", you can see that nitrogen, oxygen , sulfur, and fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine all have higher electronegativities.
An oil molecule is typically a long chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms. It is nonpolar in nature due to the presence of only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. The arrangement of these atoms forms a hydrophobic structure, which is why oil does not mix well with water.
Because hydrocarbons have non polar molecules and water has a polar molecule.Hydrocarbons, which are molecules that are composed entirely of only Hydrogen & Carbon, which should make sense from the name. From a simple standpoint, it should make sense that these species are hydrophobic (ie: insoluble in water) because they not polar species. Carbon holds its electrons tightly. Water is a polar solvent because of the non-bonding electrons on the oxygen (H2O). Two substances are soluble with each other when they are either both polar (hydrophilic) or both nonpolar (hydrophobic).
AlCl3 is the only non-polar molecule in the list provided. The other molecules (CO, SO2, and NO) have polar covalent bonds due to differences in electronegativity between the atoms involved, making them polar molecules. AlCl3 has a symmetrical arrangement of polar covalent bonds, resulting in a non-polar molecule overall.
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is considered nonpolar because it has a symmetrical tetrahedral shape with four identical covalent bonds between carbon and chlorine atoms. The electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine is not significant enough to create a polar molecule.
Alkanes are nonpolar molecules because they contain only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds, resulting in a symmetrical distribution of electron density. This symmetry cancels out any dipole moments, making alkanes nonpolar.
NaCl will not dissolve in CCl4 is a polar molecule and polar molecule will only dissolve other polar molecules. As the same goes for non polar molecules.
An oil molecule is typically a long chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms. It is nonpolar in nature due to the presence of only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. The arrangement of these atoms forms a hydrophobic structure, which is why oil does not mix well with water.
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.
Small, Non-polar molecules. If the molecule is polar, it sticks to both sides of the membrane, and has to go through selective routes. The easiest to get through is the Non-polar (oxygen and carbon).
I am not a chemist, so I can't give you the "chemical" reason, but I would think that do NOT mix easily with water. My reasoning is that molecules that contain only hydrogen and carbon are called "hydrocarbons", and a very common hydrocarbon is oil. Oil does not mix with water, so I assume that the answer to your question is no.
No. Water is polar, and only dissolves other polar things.
It doesn't. Only other polar molecules.
Some molecules only contain Carbon and Hydrogen. They are called Hydrocarbons.
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
Covalent molecules which contain only bonds between elements of similar electronegativity. For example: Carbon and hydrogen. They must not contain polar bonds like Oxygen and hydrogen.

No, water is not the only molecule that is polar. Other examples of polar molecules include ammonia (NH3), hydrogen fluoride (HF), and hydrogen chloride (HCl). These molecules have an uneven distribution of charge, causing a separation of positive and negative regions.
