A non-polar molecule is a molecule that is symmetrical in the sense that the atoms on the outside pull equally on the central atom, thus not causing any differences in electronegativity.
What else can I help you with?
How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
What is soluble in a nonpolar substance?
Typically nonpolar substances are soluble in other nonpolar substances. Like disolves like...
Is salad oil polar?
Yes, salad oil is a nonpolar substance because it is composed mainly of lipids, which are nonpolar molecules. This means that salad oil will not mix well with water, a polar substance.
You have a spot of oil which is nonpolar on your favorite shirt.in which substance will the oil be most likely to dissolve?
The oil is nonpolar, so it will be more likely to dissolve in a nonpolar substance. Substances such as gasoline, kerosene, or other nonpolar solvents would be more effective at dissolving the oil spot on your shirt.
Is baking soda soluble in hexane?
No. Hexane is a nonpolar liquid and so will not dissolve an ionic substance.
How do you explain the phrase like dissolves like in terms of polar and nonpolar substances?
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
What are emulsions?
A polar and a nonpolar substance being made miscible together by another substance that has both polar and nonpolar characteristics.
What is soluble in a nonpolar substance?

Is salad oil polar?
Yes, salad oil is a nonpolar substance because it is composed mainly of lipids, which are nonpolar molecules. This means that salad oil will not mix well with water, a polar substance.
What type of substance will dissolve in a nonpolar substance?
A non-polar substance will dissolve in a non-polar substance. Like dissolves like.
Is human skin polar or nonpolar?
It is polar. That is why water sticks to your skin, unlike wax, a nonpolar substance.
What substance is a nonpolar molecule that is not soluble in water?
lipid
Does tar dissolve in water?
No, tar does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
If an unknown solid substance is non polar will it matter if distilled or tap water is used to prepare a solution of this substance?
If the solid substance is nonpolar, it will more likely dissolve better in an organic solvent rather than water. In this case, using distilled or tap water to prepare a solution may not make a significant difference in the solubility of the substance since it is nonpolar and not likely to dissolve well in water regardless.
What does it mean when lipids are non-polar?
When a substance is polar it means that the molecules have a partial positive charge on one part of the molecule and a partial negative charge on the other. When a substance such as a lipid is nonpolar it means that it does not have this trait.
Is peanut butter polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.
What happens when a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine?
When a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine, they may form a heterogeneous mixture where the polar and nonpolar components do not mix together. The polar and nonpolar substances will tend to separate due to their differing intermolecular forces.
