What else can I help you with?
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.
What do nonpolar covalent molecules share?
Nonpolar covalent molecules share electrons equally between the atoms, leading to a symmetrical distribution of charge and no net dipole moment. This results in their nonpolar nature and lack of attraction to polar molecules.
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.
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.
What are molecules that do not have opposite charged ends?
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
What do nonpolar molecule have?
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Can nonpolar molecules cross the lipid bilayer?
Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the lipid bilayer because the lipid bilayer is made up of nonpolar molecules itself, allowing nonpolar molecules to pass through easily.
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What molecules are not attracted to polar molecules?
Nonpolar
What do nonpolars have?
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

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.
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.
Can nonpolar molecules cross the cell membrane?
Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the cell membrane through simple diffusion.
Water molecules attract nonpolar molecules such as oil?
yes
Are all hydrocarbons polar molecules?
Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules.
What do nonpolar covalent molecules share?
Nonpolar covalent molecules share electrons equally between the atoms, leading to a symmetrical distribution of charge and no net dipole moment. This results in their nonpolar nature and lack of attraction to polar molecules.
