water would not be able to form hydrogen bonds (wrong)
Apex - Water would not rise inside plants :P
What else can I help you with?
Is triclosan polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Why does water roll off the surface of a leaf?
because the leaf is non polar or Because the leaf is coated in lipid molecules
Is sand polar or nonpolar?
These terms are not applicable for sand.
How do solids dissolve in liquids?
By being heated up and turning into either a gas or a liquid.
Explain how a solute can dissolve in polar and nonpolar solvents?
=a polar solvent dissolves a polar solute, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. likes dissolve likes=
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
Do nonpolar substances get wet in water?
Nonpolar substances do not dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule. Therefore, nonpolar substances do not readily get wet in water and tend to form beads on the surface instead. This is due to the difference in polarity between water and nonpolar substances.
Does tar dissolve in water?
No, tar does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
Are nonpolar molecules soluble in water?
Nonpolar molecules are generally not soluble in water because water is a polar molecule and like dissolves like.
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.
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.
Is water a nonpolar compound?
no... water is a polar compound
Are lipids polar or nonpolar?
Lipids are nonpolar molecules, meaning they do not have a charge separation and are hydrophobic (repel water). This property is due to their long hydrocarbon chains that lack significant electronegative atoms, making them insoluble in water.
What type of molicule is water?
nonpolar
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.
Why is nonpolar oxygen soluble in polar water?
Nonpolar oxygen is soluble in polar water due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between the oxygen molecules and water molecules. The polar nature of water allows it to interact with the nonpolar oxygen molecules, enabling them to dissolve and become distributed within the water.
Why are nonpolar compounds not highly soluble in water?
Nonpolar compounds are not highly soluble in water because water is a polar molecule. Water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other, creating a strong network that does not interact favorably with nonpolar molecules. As a result, nonpolar compounds tend to aggregate together instead of mixing well with water, leading to low solubility.
