Can a polar covalent compound act non polar?

Answer 1

NO

Answer 2

Yes, the ionic charges of each element in a compound abide to the VSEPR theory that negative and positive charges will create a substantial amount of equal electrons, thus creating polar bonds.

Answer 3

no it will only be soluable in polar substances like water this is because the intramolecular forces are similar "like dissolves like" so polar dissolves polar and non polar dissolves non polar any easy way to decide whether a substance is polar or not is by checking whether the molecule is symetrical, an asymetrical molecule will be polar

Answer 4

No, a polar covalent molecule can not act as non polar. Although a molecule can have a polar bond and the molecule be non polar. One example would be carbon dioxide, CO2. The bond from carbon to each oxygen is polar, but due to its symmetry, the overall molecule is non-polar.

O=C=O

O<---C-->O

Answer 5

The general term for this property is called "amphipathicity." An example of an amphipathic molecule is a phospholipid.

Answer 6

Polar

Answer 7

NO
