water is polar. That's why there's surface tension, because the positive side of one molecule is attracted to the negative side of another, so the molecules tend to stick together.

What are the properties of a molecule that is both hydrophobic and polar?

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.


Do nonpolar substances get wet in water?

Nonpolar substances do not dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule. Therefore, nonpolar substances do not readily get wet in water and tend to form beads on the surface instead. This is due to the difference in polarity between water and nonpolar substances.


Is Dihydrogen monoxide an example of a nonpolar molecule?

No, Dihydrogen monoxide (water) is a polar molecule. It has a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom, resulting in an uneven distribution of electrons.


Nonpolar molecule that is not soluble in water?

One example of a nonpolar molecule that is not soluble in water is oil. Nonpolar molecules, like oil, do not have a charge imbalance and therefore do not interact well with water molecules, which are polar. As a result, oil tends to separate from water when mixed together, forming distinct layers.
