Chemical affinity can refer to the tendency of an atom or compound to combine by chemical reaction with atoms or compounds of unlike composition.

Example, sodium and chlorine, NaCl (table salt)

Substances that have an affinity for water are hydrophilic, those that seem to repel water are hydrophobic

Google hydrophilic substances and you will probably get a decent answer

What is the difference between inorganic compound and organic compound?

Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon, are covalently bonded and they are a non-polar molicule. Organic compounds are often large and contain Carbohydrates lipids protines nuculiar acids Inorganic Compounds do not contain carbon but DO contain ionic acid. They are Polar and often small. they contain water salts acids basis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What the other answerer said is half true - an example of an inorganic compound containing CARBON is:Baking SodaThe formula indeed contains carbon.Sadly, I do not know the unvague definition between the two at the moment.

Long-term changes in the water cycle can cause changes in an area's climate. Which of the following accurately describes such a change for an area that is far away from any body of water?

this man was in the ocean and he need help.so a big boat came by and said you need help, said the man in the boat. The man in the water said no god will save me. And later that day another boat came by and said do you need help, said the man in the boat. The man in the water said no god will save men .the he died and went to heaven. the man said god why did you not save . god said i sent two big boat you dummy.

When Compounds have an affinity for water are said to be?

Hydrophilic. These compounds have a tendency to interact and dissolve in water due to their polarity or ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Examples of hydrophilic molecules include sugars, salts, and some proteins.


If a substance can be dissolved in water what is that substance said to be?

If a substance can be dissolved in water, it is said to be hydrophilic or water-soluble. This means that the substance has an affinity for water and can form a homogeneous solution when mixed with it.

Which term refers to the attraction to water molecule?

The term that refers to the attraction to water molecules is "hydrophilic." This term describes substances or molecules that have an affinity for water and can easily dissolve or mix with it due to their polar nature.

How many different molecules can water dissolve?

It is often mentioned that water can dissolve a huge variety of compounds of varying chemical characteristics. Declaring a strict number of such molecules would be almost impossible. It should be said that these compounds cannot be put into a single category. At first, let's take a look at ionic compounds. Being a polar solvent, water can dissolve many ionic compounds by dissociating them into seperate ions and creating hydrated spheres. Eventhough, there are some ionic lattices that do not dissolve, which we usually call as precipitates. When it comes to covalent compounds, many ones with asymmetric polar bonds are dissolved in water such as alcohols, amines etc. In rare cases, non polar compounds also partially dissolve in water, such as bromine and iodine. Generally, it can be also said that, molecules with relatively higher molecular masses, show less tendency to dissolve in water.
