What polar molecules are attracted to water?
Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.
Nonpolar molecules are attracted to positive forces?
Because a nonpolar molecule has no overall charge, it will not interact with a positive force.
Why dipole forces of attraction not found in halogen molecules?
because halogen molecules are nonpolar. So, there is no development of permanent polarity.
Is I2 an ionic bond?
I2 is a nonpolar covalent because it doesn't have only 2 atoms.
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 Can Water Not Dissolve?
Water is a universal solvent and can dissolve many substances, but it cannot dissolve non-polar substances like oil, grease, and some plastics. These substances do not have a charge and therefore do not interact well with water molecules.
Nonpolar molecules are attracted to positive forces?
Because a nonpolar molecule has no overall charge, it will not interact with a positive force.
Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properies?
compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why do polar nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why polar and nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why does water roll off a person's skin when the person gets out of a swimming pool?
Gravity?? Real answer: Because the skin contains nonpolar lipid (fats) molecules.
Is transport protein required for nonpolar molecules?
Yes because the lipid bilayer is polar.
Why does water roll off the surface of a leaf?
because the leaf is non polar or Because the leaf is coated in lipid molecules
Why does gasoline interfere with the hydrogen bonding between ethanol molecules?
Possible because gasoline is nonpolar.
Why do water molecules break up other polar molecules?
Because water is polar, so when a when a polar solute is put in it will dissolve. Like dissolves like. Polar dissolves polar. Likewise, nonpolar dissoves nonpolar.
