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 do some substances not dissolve in water?

Some substances do not dissolve in water because their molecular structures are not compatible with water molecules. This can be due to differences in polarity or intermolecular forces. For example, nonpolar substances like oils and fats do not dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule.


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.

Does polar or non polar dissolve in water?

Polar substances dissolve in water because they have similar polar characteristics that allow them to interact and mix well. Non-polar substances, on the other hand, do not dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule and cannot effectively interact with non-polar molecules.
