Which end of the water molecule is attracted to the sodium ion?
Wiki User

Since water is a slightly polar molecule (the hydrogen end being slightly positive and the oxygen ends being slightly negative) the positively charged sodium ion (Na+) will be attracted to the oxygen end of the water molecule.

What parts of the calcium chloride are attracted to what parts of the water molecule?
The oxygen end,which is a negative pole
The water soluble portion of a phospholipid is the polar head which generally consists of a glycerol molecule linked to a phosphate group?
No, you do not have that quite correct. A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).
Why does ethanol dissolve in both water and gasoline?
Ethanol has a polar and non polar end the polar end will be attracted to water and the non polar end will dissolve in gasoline but its limited because of size of the molecule and not having the strongest attractive forces
When calcium chloride is dissolved in water to which end of the adjacent water molecules will a calcium ion be attracted?
The oxygen end, which is the negative pole.
What happens when sodium is added to water and universal indicator?
sodium will react violently with water, and end products are sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. the universal indicator would turn to around orange(?)
When NaCl is dissolved in water negative end of the water molecules is attracted towards what?
Ion-dipole attraction dictates that the negative pole of a water molecule will be attracted to the sodium cation and the positive pole of a water molecule will be attracted to the chloride anion.
Does dissociation of salts keep salt molecules stable in water?
When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, a process called solvation occurs. Water is a polar in nature and it is a polar solvent. The water molecule has a positive end and a negative end . The positive part of the water molecule is attracted to the negative part of the sodium chloride, the chloride ion. The negative part of the water is attracted to the positive part of the sodium chloride, the sodium ion. Thus, the sodium chloride dissociates, or breaks apart in water
Is the phospholipid molecule has two parts the polar end and the bipolar end?
No, you do not have that quite correct. A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).
When NaCl dissolves in water which end of the water molecule is attracted to the Na plus?

Is salt a hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
No. Instead, salt is hydrophilic ("water-loving"). Salt (NaCl, or Na+ and Cl-) is very attracted to Water (H20, or H2+ and O-) because opposite electrostatic charges attract. The anionic ("negatively charged") Chlorine end of the salt molecule is attracted to the 2 cationic ("positively charged") Hydrogen ions of the water molecule: Cl- wants H2+. In the same way, the cationic Sodium end is attracted to the anionic Oxygen end: Na+ wants O-. Since each end of the salt molecule is attracted to the reciprocal end of the water molecule, there is a strong overall molecular attraction.
When an ionic molecule dissolves in water what does the water molecule do?
Surrounds the ions with the hydrogen, positive end, attracted to the negative ion ( Cl -, for instance ) and the oxygen, negative end, attracted to the positive ion ( Na +, for instance ).
When sodium atom transfer it's electron to a chlorine dose the ions separate in the presence of water?
Yes, the ions dissolve in solution and become surrounded by the polar water molecules, which pry the structure of salt apart. Na + is attractive to the oxygen end of the water molecule and Cl - is attracted to the hydrogen end of the water molecule. This is called solvation.
What parts of the calcium chloride are attracted to what parts of the water molecule?
The oxygen end,which is a negative pole
Which end of a phospholidid is attracted to water?
The hydrophilic head which is made up of a phosphate group and a polar molecule.
When placed between oppositely charged metal plates the region of a water molecule attracted to the negative plate is what?
partially positively charged hydrogen end of the molecule.
What type of bond attracts one water molecule to another?
When water molecules are attracted to other water molecules, this is called COHESION. This is because the oxygen end of water has a negative charge and the hydrogen end has a positive charge. The hydrogens of one water molecule are attracted to the oxygen from the other water molecules. This is what causes Cohesion. :)
When placed between oppositely charged metal plates the region of a water molecule that is attracted to the negative plate is the .?
partially positively charged hydrogen end of the molecule.
