What type of bond found in a molecule that cannot dissolve in water?

∙ 14y ago
A non-polar molecule cannot dissolve into water. For example butter, oil, and sand cannot dissolve in water because they are non polar molecules. Adding these to water forms a suspension instead of a solution.
This is due to the configuration of water molecules. Water is a polar molecule and attracts and dissolves other polar molecules but doesn't attract non-polar molecules.
Oil is one substance that won't dissolve in water because they have different densities, so oil floats on top.

Why does methane not dissolve well in water?
Methane is a non polar molecule and water is a very polar molecule. Therefore, one will not readily dissolve in the other.
Why does salad oil not dissolve in water?
Because the oil has a nonpolar molecule and water has a polar molecule.
Why does the ammonia molecule dissolve readily in water?
Actually, the ammonia molecule mixes with the water because it forms hydrogen bonds.
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.
What happens to the hydrogen atom of the HCl molecule when placed in water?
The hydrogen will dissolve
What is one molecule that won't dissolve in water?
A molecule that will not DISSOLVE in WATER is a LIPID
Why do some substances not dissolve in water?
Water is a polar molecule. If a solute dissolved in water is polar molecule, it will dissolve in water. If a solute dissolved in water is non-polar like oil it will not dissolve in water.
Why does things dissolve in water?
the things dissolve in water because it is polar molecule.
Name a molecule that does not dissolve well in water?
oil does not dissolve at all in water.

Why does salad oil not dissolve in water?
Because the oil has a nonpolar molecule and water has a polar molecule.
Does water dissolve most salts?
Water dissolve many ionic salts because water has a polar molecule.
If water were non polar molecule how would its properties be different?
A nonpolar liquid cannot dissolve polar molecules.
Will all solids dissolved in water?
No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.
Why solute can dissolve in water?
Because compounds have a polar molecule - as water.
What Solvent substance dissolves in saltwater?
A solvent cannot dissolve. You can dissolve a solute in a solvent, e.g. you can dissolve sugar in water - sugar is the solute, and water is the solvent. You cannot dissolve water though.
