Yes, this is why a polar substance will create a stable solution with another polar substance, such as starch into water. A non-polar molecule such as oil will however not be attracted to water and therefore not form a stable solution. By stable solution I mean (basically) that if you mix the two together that it will stay that way.

Why does a polar molecule dissolve anything?

It doesn't. Only other polar molecules.


Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?

Charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules through electrostatic interactions. The partial charges on these molecules allow them to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which helps them become evenly dispersed throughout the solution. This enables them to dissolve and form a homogenous mixture with water.


What do oils and fats dissolve in?

Oils and fats dissolve in other fats and oils, as they are non-polar molecules. They do not dissolve in water, which is a polar molecule.


Would a non polar molecule dissolve in a polar molecule?

Nonpolar molecules tend to dissolve better in other nonpolar molecules due to similar intermolecular forces, while polar molecules dissolve better in other polar molecules. This is because like dissolves like - molecules with similar polarity tend to mix well together. Generally, nonpolar molecules do not dissolve easily in polar solvents.


Why do non polar molecules dissolve in fat?

non polar molecules dissolve in fat due to the fact that fat is also a nonpolar molecule, and have u ever heard of the saying "like dissolves in like" well non polar molecules dissolve in other non polar molecules. Hope that helps


Are sugars non polar Molecules?

No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.


What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?

Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.


Is water soluble in Kerosene?

http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761570078/kerosene.html This website through Encarta will explain to you the properties of Kerosene and tell you that it is insoluble. Kerosene with most other Alkanes are non polar, water is polar. Non polar molecules can only dissolve with other non polar molecules. The same for polar in that they cannot dissolve in any other but polar molecules.


What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?

ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.


Why cant salt dissolve in water?

it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.


Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?

Nonpolar covalent bonds do not dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent. The polarity of water molecules causes them to interact more strongly with other polar molecules or ions, making nonpolar molecules insoluble in water.


Are non polar molecules soluble in water?

No.Water can't dissolve non-polar molecules. Water is a polar molecule. Since polar molecules can only dissolve with polar molecules, and non-polar molecules can only dissolve with non-polar molecules, water and non-polar molecules don't react together. Exception:- Some very small non-polar molecules can dissolve in water, like oxygen (O2)
