It means that water has a positive side and a negative side. This allows polar substances to dissolve well in water.

Why does non polar molecules repel water molecules?

Because it is like a magnatizing ordeal so to say and it just bounces of non polar molcuels. :)


What polar molecules are attracted to water?

Polar molecules with positively charged regions, such as ammonia and alcohols like ethanol, are attracted to water due to hydrogen bonding. Additionally, polar molecules with negatively charged regions, such as acetate ions, are also attracted to water for the same reason.


What do molecules do in water?

Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.


Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are what molecules?

Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.


In polar regions what happens to water molecules at the ocean's surface?

Molecules always react to things so the molecules would most likely freeze but any pollution could change the molecule. say if there were a oil spill then the molecules properties would be oil.


Why is water not attracted to oils and fats?

Because it is like a magnatizing ordeal so to say and it just bounces of non polar molcuels. :)


How does molecular shape affects polarity?

generally looking at the structures of the molecules we can say wether that molecules is polar or non polar. generally linear and square planer molecules are non polar. further more diatomic molecules like (N2,O2,H2,I2,F2,Cl2,Br2) are non polar. all nobel gases are non polar.Yes, polar bond can give rise to a polar molecule, depending on the molecular shape, causing different types of changes.


What is polar and non polar compound?

polar compounds are those which have charged ends or you can say those compound or molecules which have +ve ends and -ve ends in their structure . non polar are those which don't have any charged ends thee molecules are neutral in their configuration . polar molecules have strong force of attraction than non poalr molecules between them due to which thaey have high melting point and strength


What does it mean to say a bond is polar and how does it affect the properties of the molecules involved?

When a bond is polar, it means that there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the atoms involved. This creates partial positive and negative charges within the molecule. This polarity affects the properties of the molecules by influencing their interactions with other molecules, such as in chemical reactions or in the formation of hydrogen bonds. It can also impact the molecule's overall shape and solubility in different solvents.


How will you identify the physical properties from chemical properties of water?

1 = when we mix the water with the benzene or any other non polar solvents it does"t miscible with that, this is a chemical reaction from this reaction we can say water has polar properties 2 from above we can say water is polar , in polar solvents inter atomic attractions are more due to this it has high MP like these we can explain all properties


What animal lives in polar?

I think you got mixed up. I think you mean to say " Where do Polar Bears live " Polar Bears live in the North Pole.


Does methane float on water?

No. methane is not soluble in water, as methane is a non-polar hydrocarbon and water is a polar solvent.
