It is impossible to give a figure but it will be a lot lower as the polarity makes the molecules bond more tightly together. Remembering that H2S is a gas at room temperature (it is polar but not as much as water), I would imagine that water would be too but its boiling point would be even lower than H2S. However there are other factors affecting boiling point other than polarity.

Can water form covalent bonds with nonpolar molecules?

No. It can't.


Hydrocarbons and other nonpolar molecules are not attracted to what?

Hydrocarbons and other nonpolar molecules are not attracted to water because they are nonpolar themselves, causing them to be hydrophobic. This is due to the difference in polarity between water (a polar molecule) and nonpolar molecules, preventing them from forming hydrogen bonds and leading to low solubility in water.


Why is nonpolar oxygen soluble in polar water?

Nonpolar oxygen is soluble in polar water due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between the oxygen molecules and water molecules. The polar nature of water allows it to interact with the nonpolar oxygen molecules, enabling them to dissolve and become distributed within the water.


Which type of bonds does hydrophobic molecules contains?

Hydrophobic molecules tend to contain nonpolar covalent bonds. These bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms of the same or similar electronegativity, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge and are not easily disrupted by water molecules which leads to their hydrophobic nature.


How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.


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. :)


Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?

Nonpolar covalent bonds do not dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent. The polarity of water molecules causes them to interact more strongly with other polar molecules or ions, making nonpolar molecules insoluble in water.


Why are nonpolar compounds not highly soluble in water?

Nonpolar compounds are not highly soluble in water because water is a polar molecule. Water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other, creating a strong network that does not interact favorably with nonpolar molecules. As a result, nonpolar compounds tend to aggregate together instead of mixing well with water, leading to low solubility.


What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?

Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.


What macromolecule does not dissolve in water?

Lipids, such as fats and oils, do not dissolve in water because they are hydrophobic (water-fearing) molecules. This is due to their nonpolar nature, which prevents them from forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules.


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.


Is molecular soluble is water?

Yes, some molecules are soluble in water. The solubility of a molecule in water depends on its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Polar molecules and ions tend to be more soluble in water, while nonpolar molecules are usually insoluble.
