Why do water and oxygen not attract?
Water and oxygen molecules do not attract each other because both water and oxygen molecules are nonpolar. Nonpolar molecules do not have regions of positive or negative charge, so they do not exhibit attractive interactions such as hydrogen bonding.
Do polar and nonpolar molecules interact?
In general, polar molecules interact more strongly with other polar molecules (due to dipole-dipole interactions) and nonpolar molecules interact more with other nonpolar molecules (via London dispersion forces). However, there can be exceptions depending on the specific molecules involved and the conditions of the interaction.
Hydrocarbons and other nonpolar molecules are not attracted to what?
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.
Substance A is a Molecular compound that dissolves in gasoline but not water. The molecules of A are very likely....what?
Nonpolar. Molecules that dissolve in nonpolar solvents like gasoline tend to be nonpolar themselves, as nonpolar substances are attracted to each other through London dispersion forces. Water, being a polar solvent, is not able to dissolve nonpolar molecules as effectively.
Would a non polar molecule dissolve in a polar molecule?
Nonpolar molecules tend to dissolve better in other nonpolar molecules due to similar intermolecular forces, while polar molecules dissolve better in other polar molecules. This is because like dissolves like - molecules with similar polarity tend to mix well together. Generally, nonpolar molecules do not dissolve easily in polar solvents.
Why do water and oxygen not attract?
Water and oxygen molecules do not attract each other because both water and oxygen molecules are nonpolar. Nonpolar molecules do not have regions of positive or negative charge, so they do not exhibit attractive interactions such as hydrogen bonding.

However, there can be exceptions depending on the specific molecules involved and the conditions of the interaction.
Molecules that are insoluble in water or do not readily interact with water are said to be?
Hydrophobic. These molecules tend to be nonpolar or have a nonpolar region, which makes them poorly soluble in water. Instead, they often interact with other nonpolar molecules.
Why are two nonpolar substances able to dissolve in each other?
Two non-polar substances share similar attractive forces in their molecules, which is what enables them to dissolve in each other. The dissolving medium in a solution is referred to as a solvent.
Hydrocarbons and other nonpolar molecules are not attracted to what?
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.
Diffusion of nonpolar molecules would not be affected by?
Diffusion of nonpolar molecules would not be affected by factors such as temperature, concentration gradient, or the presence of other nonpolar molecules. Nonpolar molecules are able to diffuse freely through cell membranes and other barriers due to their lack of charge, making them less influenced by these factors compared to polar molecules.

Nonpolar molecules are attracted to positive forces?
Nonpolar molecules are typically attracted to other nonpolar molecules, driven by Van der Waals forces. These forces are temporary fluctuations in electron distribution that can create weak attractions between nonpolar molecules even though they do not have permanent dipoles. This attraction is often referred to as London dispersion forces.
Do water molecules attract nonpolar molecules such as oil?
Yes, but they attract polar molecules more strongly."Hydrophobic" molecules is a misnomer. The nonpolar molecules in question are attracted to water molecules (usually more strongly than they're attracted to each other, even), but they get "shoved out of the way" by polar "hydrophilic" molecules which are even more strongly attracted to water molecules.
What dissolve in oil?
what liquid can soilt and sagur
Why don't water molecules and oxygen molecules attract each other?
Water molecules are polar due to the unequal sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, while oxygen molecules are nonpolar. As a result, water molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding, but do not interact strongly with nonpolar oxygen molecules.
