No, polythene does not dissolve in water as it is a non-polar polymer and water is a polar solvent. This lack of attraction between the polythene molecules and water molecules prevents it from dissolving.
it's all about the structure of the particles and the bonds if the chemical bond are mostly ionic they will dissolve to form freely moving ions and some structures of atoms are much stronger like metallic bonds. covalent bonds do not dissolve easily but some covalent bonds break and dissolve in water. It's all about the bond and structures of different elements.
The polythene becomes negatively charged.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
No - it is a synthetic polymer and it is not a natural polymer like cotton which has excellent absorption qualities.
The polymer "polythene".
No, at least not in water.
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, typically floats on water because it has a lower density than water. This is due to its molecular structure, which enables polythene to be less dense and float on the surface of water.

One of the effects of the polythene pollution is that it interacts with water to form hazardous chemicals. It leads to the death of animals which consume the polythene which has not been disposed properly.
When polythene burns, it produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and trace amounts of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. Burning polythene releases harmful chemicals into the environment and should be avoided.

No, but salt does dissolve in water.
No. Lipids do not dissolve in water.
No, carbon does not dissolve in water.
