false. they are non polar molecules, not to be confused with polar molecules. non polar molecules lack regions of electrical charge. it mostly has hydrogen and carbon atoms. an example of non polar molecules are fats and waxes.

What happens when a polar solute is introduced into a non polar solvent?

If polar and nonpolar solutions are mixed together they will form what?

If polar and nonpolar solutions are mixed together, they will not mix and will form separate layers due to their different polarities. This is because polar molecules are attracted to other polar molecules, while nonpolar molecules are attracted to other nonpolar molecules.


What are the physical differences between polar and nonpolar molecules?

Polar molecules have an uneven distribution of electrons, leading to regions of partial positive and negative charges. Nonpolar molecules have an even distribution of electrons and no distinct positive or negative regions. This difference in electron distribution affects properties such as solubility, melting point, and boiling point between polar and nonpolar molecules.

Why do oil and water hate each other?

Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.


Why do water molecules break up other polar molecules?

Water molecules break up other polar molecules through a process called hydration or solvation. The partially positive and negative charges on water molecules allow them to surround and interact with polar molecules, causing them to break apart or dissolve in water. This is due to the strong electrostatic interactions between water and polar molecules.


Is bacteria and virus polar or non polar?

Bacteria are generally considered polar because they have distinct ends or poles, such as a head and a tail. Viruses, on the other hand, are typically nonpolar as they do not have a specific structure like bacteria and generally have a symmetrical shape.
