Yes, polar substances dissolve well in water because water is a polar molecule with positive and negative ends that can interact with other polar molecules through electrostatic interactions. This allows substances with polar characteristics to easily dissolve in water.

Does polar or non polar dissolve in water?

Polar substances dissolve in water because they have similar polar characteristics that allow them to interact and mix well. Non-polar substances, on the other hand, do not dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule and cannot effectively interact with non-polar molecules.


What type of compound will not dissolve in water?

A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar


What type of molecules mix the best with water?

Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.


Do mono saccharides dissolve well in water?

Monosaccharides will dissolve well in water. This is made possible by the oxygen in the carbohydrates which will create polar bonds.


Which compound is least likely to dissolve in water ionic compound charged compound polar compound or non polar compound?

Non-polar compounds are least likely to dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent and non-polar compounds do not interact well with polar substances. Ionic compounds and charged compounds are more likely to dissolve in water due to their ability to interact with the polar water molecules.


Why can water dissolve NaCl and ethanol?

Water can dissolve NaCl because it has polar molecular structure which allows it to interact with the ions in NaCl, breaking the ionic bonds. Ethanol is a polar molecule as well, making it able to dissolve NaCl through similar polar interactions. Ethanol can also dissolve in water due to its polar characteristics and ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.


What kinds of molecules do water dissolve?

It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.


Which type of compound dissolves in water polar or non-polar?

The phrase "Like-Dissolves-Like" will answer your question and subsequent answers in the future. Water is a polar species which only likes to dissolve or dissolve into other polar speices. Therefore a nonploar compound like n-hexane would not readily dissovle (mix) with water. There are multiple reasons for this observed trend and any intro level chemistry book or organic book will have those answers.


What does so2 dissolve in?

It dissolve in polar solvents.It dissolve well in water.


What compound most dissolve in hexane?

Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.


Why are fatty acids -or oils or fats - not soluble in water?

They are non-polar and therefore don't dissolve well in polar solvents (like water).


Substances unable to dissolve in water?

Substances that are unable to dissolve in water are considered hydrophobic. This includes substances such as oil, fats, and waxes. These substances are non-polar and do not interact well with the polar water molecules, leading to limited or no solubility.
