Do polar molecules attract?

yes. the positive end of the molecule attracts the negative end of the adjacent molecule


Why are polar molecules soluble in water?

Polar molecules are soluble in water because water is a polar molecule itself. This means that water has a positive and negative end, allowing it to attract and surround other polar molecules, dissolving them easily.


How does a polar bond differ from a molecule?

Not much really except molecules should have polar bonds so that the bonds attract to other poles causing molecules to bond and form larger things. Its like how the electrons of atoms attract other atoms or collide and form molecules.


What does the composition of a water affect its charge?

It makes the molecule polar


how do you explain what polar molecules are?

Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds.


Water and nonpolar molecules do not easliy mix?

Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative charges that attract other polar molecules but repel nonpolar molecules. Nonpolar molecules lack charged regions, so they are not attracted to water and tend to cluster together instead of dissolving in water. This is why oil, for example, does not mix with water.


What is the primary attractive force among the polar molecules in liquid hydrogen chloride?

Polar molecules have a positively charged pole and a negatively charged pole. The positively charged pole of one molecule will attract the negatively charged pole of another molecule, in accordance with Coulomb's Law.


Why does water and oil separate?

water is a polar molecule. so it doesn't attract to oil (another polar molecule)


Water molecules can attract other molecules through . polar adhesion polar cohesion nonpolar adhesion nonpolar cohesion?

Water molecules can attract other molecules through polar adhesion. This occurs because water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a partial positive charge on one side and a partial negative charge on the other. This polarity allows water to form hydrogen bonds with other polar substances, leading to adhesion. In contrast, nonpolar molecules do not exhibit such interactions with water.


Why are polar covalently bonded molecules soluble in water and non polar are not?

Water is a polar covalent molecule. The partial charges in the molecule attract other charges, ionic or more partial charges from other covalent molecules and dissolves them. Nonpolar bonded molecules have no partial charges and the water molecules will attract each other thus not attracting the nonpolar and does not dissolve them.


What kind of molecule is Cl2 polar or non polar?

Halogen molecules are not polar.


Explain why so many chemicals dissolve in water include nature of the water molecule?

Water is polar and most chemicals are polar. The negative ends of the water molecule attract the positive ends of the chemical's molecules, and the positive ends of the water molecule attract the negative ends of the water molecule. This way the substance gets "pulled apart" from each other and mixes with water.
