Why don't lipids or any sustances mix?
Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they are repelled by water. As such, they do not mix with water.
Water forms what with the most substances execpt for lipids?
Water forms hydrogen bonds with most substances except for lipids. Lipids are nonpolar molecules, so they do not interact with water through hydrogen bonding. This is why lipids are hydrophobic and do not mix well with water.
What is lipophilic?
Lipophilic refers to substances or molecules that are attracted to and able to dissolve in fats, oils, and lipids. This term is often used in the context of pharmaceuticals to describe substances that have an affinity for fatty tissues in the body.
Do the lipids you refer to as oils have high water content?
No, lipids such as oils do not have high water content. Oils are hydrophobic substances, which means they do not mix well with water and therefore have very low water content.
What is the relationship between lipids and water?
Lipids are hydrophobic molecules, meaning they do not mix well with water. This is because lipids have nonpolar regions that repel water molecules. This relationship is important in biological systems, as it allows lipids to form cell membranes and other structures that help regulate the flow of substances in and out of cells.
Why water dissolves anything?
Water does not dissolve everything. Some substances dont mix with water. Those are hydrophobic substances, ex: oil molecules
How can be a mixture formed?
Mix any no. of substances in any desired quantity will give you a mixture.
How can mixtures be formed?
Mix any no. of substances in any desired quantity will give you a mixture.

Why is water not a good solvent for lipids?
Water molecules are polar, which means the oxygen side of the molecule is more negative, and the hydrogen side is more positive. Lipids are non polar, which means that one side is not more negative than the other. This is why no nonpolar substances dissolve in polar liquids
What biological molecule will not mix with water?
Lipids
What chemical property allows lipids and Sudan IV dye to mix?
Both lipids and Sudan IV dye are nonpolar molecules, which allows them to mix together. Nonpolar substances are attracted to each other due to their similar molecular structures, making it easier for them to form a mixture.
