NaCl polar or non polar?

NaCl is an ionic compound, certainly not nonpolar.


Why Nacl is soluble in benzene?

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is not soluble in benzene because benzene is a nonpolar solvent and NaCl is an ionic compound, which is more soluble in polar solvents like water. Ionic compounds like NaCl dissociate into ions in polar solvents due to the attraction between the polar water molecules and the charged ions. Benzene lacks the polarity needed to disrupt the ionic bonds in NaCl, so they do not dissolve in it.

How is water equipped to break the relatively powerful ionic bonds making up crystals like sodium chloride?

Because of the phrase "like dissolves like". Both NaCl and water are made up of polar bonds and have a polar shape, so like dissolves like. If NaCl was nonpolar in its shape, the polar water would not be able to dissolve the nonpolar NaCl.

Did NaCl soluble in hexane?

No, NaCl (sodium chloride) is not soluble in hexane. Hexane is a nonpolar solvent, while NaCl is an ionic compound that dissolves in polar solvents like water.


Why is NaCl very soluble?

Because NaCl is a polar, ionic compound.


Is Caf2 polar non polar or ionic?

CaF2 is considered an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal cation (Ca) and a nonmetal anion (F) bonded together through ionic bonds. It is not considered as polar or nonpolar since ionic compounds do not have distinct polar or nonpolar characteristics as covalent compounds do.


Which of these compounds contains a polar bond N2 H2O MgS NaCl?

H2O (water) and NaCl (sodium chloride) contain polar bonds due to the difference in electronegativity between the atoms involved. MgS (magnesium sulfide) does not contain a polar bond as magnesium and sulfur have similar electronegativities, resulting in a nonpolar bond. N2 (nitrogen gas) does not contain polar bonds as the two nitrogen atoms have similar electronegativities, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.
