A hydrophobic compound that simultaneously stores energy would be a hydrocarbon. There are several types of hydrocarbons, but oil is distinct in being unmixable with water.

Are nonpolar molecules soluble in water?

Nonpolar molecules are generally not soluble in water because water is a polar molecule and like dissolves like.


Is CH3NH2 soluble in water?

yes it is soluble in water as we know from the common principal of "like dissolves like" in this case water is a polar molecule as well as the molecule in question therefore the molecule you specified will infact dissolve in water


Is carbon tetraiodide soluble?

No, carbon tetraiodide (CI4) is not soluble in water. It is a nonpolar molecule and therefore does not interact well with polar water molecules.

yes it is becasue water is a polar molecule and therefore, can only disolve another polar molecule such as ch2o


Why many alcohols are soluble in water. What part of an alcohol will limit its solubility in water What part of an alcohol may make it soluble in water?

Many alcohols are soluble in water because of the -OH group that they all contain. This is the polar part of the molecule which makes it polar and thus soluble in water. The part of the molecule that limits the solubility in water is the carbon chain attached to this -OH group. The longer and more branched the carbon chain, the less soluble it is in water.


What molecules makes water?

Hydrogen bonds that the guest molecule create with the water makes it water soluble.


Why is glycogen soluble?

Glycogen is soluble because it is composed of many glucose molecules linked together in a branched structure. These glucose molecules are hydrophilic, meaning they are attracted to water and can readily dissolve in it. This solubility allows glycogen to be stored in cells and readily broken down to release glucose when needed for energy.
