Water and alcohol (presumably the question is related to small alcohols such as ethanol) are both polar molecules. A common mnemonic is "like dissolves like". The hydroxyl (-OH, oxygen-hydrogen) groups are not symmetrical; they have greater electron density on one side of the group as compared with the other. This allows the molecules to interact with each other (not bond) in such a way that the region that is electron rich in one molecule is attracted to the region that is electron poor in another molecule. A molecule that is not polar, such as oil, is repelled by the polar molecule to they tend to not dissolve in each other.
What else can I help you with?
Is naphthalene soluble to ethyl alcohol?
Naphthalene is said to be somewhat soluble in ethyl alcohol (ethanol). It is insoluble in water and very soluble in ether, chloroform, or carbon disulfide.
Is Glutamine water soluble?
No it is not soluble in water it is soluble in chloroform, alcohol, methnol
Is t-butyl alcohol soluble with water cyclohexane and alcohol?
t-Butyl alcohol is soluble in water due to its hydroxyl group, in alcohol solvents due to its similar structure, and in cyclohexane due to its nonpolar nature.
Is rubbing alcohol soluble in water?
Just like with any other substance that's water soluble, the weak molecular bonding that takes place in the water (surface tension, put simply) is low enough that the alcohol molecules aren't displaced by the water. The opposite is true for something like cooking oil. Water bonds to itself well enough to push the oil out.
Is ethanol the most soluble alcohol in water?
Yes, ethanol is the most soluble alcohol in water because it forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing it to mix well with water. Methanol and isopropanol are also soluble in water, but to a lesser extent than ethanol.
Is clindamycin more soluble is water or alcohol?
Clindamycin HCl is very water soluble, while only slightly soluble in alcohol.
Is benzyl alcohol soluble in water?
NO.
Is isopropyl soluble in water?
Yes, ispropyl alcohol is water soluble in all proportions.
Is isopropyl alcohol soluble in water?
Yes, ispropyl alcohol is water soluble in all proportions.

Is Glutamine water soluble?
No it is not soluble in water it is soluble in chloroform, alcohol, methnol
Is sand soluble in alcohol?
Rubbing alcohol will not completely dissolve sand, only partially. It is slightly soluble due to rubbing alcohol containing some water.
Does plutonium dissolve in water or alcohol?
Plutonim is not soluble in water and alcohols.
Is t-butyl alcohol soluble with water cyclohexane and alcohol?
t-Butyl alcohol is soluble in water due to its hydroxyl group, in alcohol solvents due to its similar structure, and in cyclohexane due to its nonpolar nature.
Is sulfur dioxide soluble in water?
Yes, sulfur dioxide is soluble in water. It forms sulfurous acid when dissolved, which contributes to its ability to dissolve in water.
Is rubbing alcohol soluble in water?
Just like with any other substance that's water soluble, the weak molecular bonding that takes place in the water (surface tension, put simply) is low enough that the alcohol molecules aren't displaced by the water. The opposite is true for something like cooking oil. Water bonds to itself well enough to push the oil out.
Is carvacrol water-soluble?
Yes, carvacrol is partially water-soluble. It can dissolve in water to some extent but is more soluble in organic solvents like alcohol and oils.
