Polar is when there's an uneven distribution of charge. So for water, H2O, there are two hydrogens and one oxygen. The oxygen is electronegative while the hydrogens are positive. So the electron density is higher around the oxygen making the oxygen side of the molecule negative and the hydrogen side positive. This is polar. Non polar is when the distribution of charge is pretty even; often fats and oils.
What else can I help you with?
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What molecules are not attracted to polar molecules?
Nonpolar
Are all hydrocarbons polar molecules?
Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules.
What is meant by polarity dependent?
Polarity dependent refers to a characteristic or behavior that is influenced by the polarity of a molecule or a system. For example, the solubility of a substance in a solvent can be polarity dependent, where polar molecules are more soluble in polar solvents and nonpolar molecules are more soluble in nonpolar solvents.
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.
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What molecules are not attracted to polar molecules?
Nonpolar
Is hydrophilic a property that determines whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar?
Yes, hydrophilic is a property that determines whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar. Hydrophilic molecules are polar, while hydrophobic molecules are nonpolar.
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.
Are all hydrocarbons polar molecules?
Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules.
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. :)
Is artificial flavor polar or nonpolar?
Artificial flavors can be either polar or nonpolar, depending on their chemical structure. Some artificial flavors may have polar functional groups (such as hydroxyl or carbonyl groups), making them polar molecules, while others may have nonpolar structures, making them nonpolar molecules.
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 is meant by polarity dependent?
Polarity dependent refers to a characteristic or behavior that is influenced by the polarity of a molecule or a system. For example, the solubility of a substance in a solvent can be polarity dependent, where polar molecules are more soluble in polar solvents and nonpolar molecules are more soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Would a non polar molecule dissolve in a polar molecule?
Nonpolar molecules tend to dissolve better in other nonpolar molecules due to similar intermolecular forces, while polar molecules dissolve better in other polar molecules. This is because like dissolves like - molecules with similar polarity tend to mix well together. Generally, nonpolar molecules do not dissolve easily in polar solvents.
Do polar and nonpolar molecules interact?
In general, polar molecules interact more strongly with other polar molecules (due to dipole-dipole interactions) and nonpolar molecules interact more with other nonpolar molecules (via London dispersion forces). However, there can be exceptions depending on the specific molecules involved and the conditions of the interaction.
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.
