What is a nonpolar compound?
Polar compounds are those which have a net charged moment. Nonpolar compounds do not have a net charge, they are equal and neutral
Is PF3Cl2 polar or nonpolar?
polar
Is carbon dioxide polar or non- polar?
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
Is cyclohexene a polar or non polar?
Nonpolar. There's a slight amount of polarity because of the double bond, but not much.
Why are some compounds non-polar but have polar bonds?
This is because some polar atoms form long chains causing the overall polarity of the molecule to be non-polar. Such is the case with soaps which contain essentailly polar fatty acids but due to the formation of chains the molecules are non-polar. Hope that helps :) Graham Duncan
Why don't polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?
Polar compounds have poles that have a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge that attract other polar molecules. Nonpolar compounds do not have partially charged poles, so the polar substance is not attracted to them and they don't dissolve.
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
Is mineral oil soluble in a solution ofwater and tetrahydrofuran?
Mineral oil is insoluble in water due to its nonpolar nature, but it is soluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF) as they are both nonpolar compounds. Therefore, mineral oil would likely be soluble in a solution of water and tetrahydrofuran.
Is diesel a polar solvent?
Yes, diesel is considered to be a nonpolar solvent due to its composition primarily of hydrocarbons. This means that diesel does not mix well with polar substances like water, but can dissolve other nonpolar compounds.
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 a nonpolar compound?
Polar compounds are those which have a net charged moment. Nonpolar compounds do not have a net charge, they are equal and neutral
Is cinnamon polar of nonpolar?
Cinnamon is a mixture of various compounds, some of which are polar (such as cinnamaldehyde) and some are nonpolar (such as cinnamyl alcohol). Overall, cinnamon can be considered to exhibit both polar and nonpolar properties.
Does ammonia dissolve in mineral oil?
The solubility in most of these is quite low. (Please see the link.)
Is a nonpolar compound miscible with water?
No, nonpolar compounds are typically not miscible with water because water is a polar molecule. Polar compounds dissolve in water due to the similar nature of their molecular structure, while nonpolar compounds do not have the same attraction to water molecules.
How does laundry detergent work on a molecular level?
The molecule that makes up soap or detergent has a polar head and a nonpolar tail. In chemistry, compounds that are polar like to mix with other polar compounds and compounds that are nonpolar like to mix with other nonpolar compounds. This is why oil and water don't mix. Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. Oil and grease are a nonpolar compounds. When in water the soap molecules will arrange themselves in such a way that the nonpolar tails surround the grease creating a spherical droplet. On the face of this sphere is the polar heads of the soap molecule. This allows it to interact with the polar water. This is how soap and laundry detergent are able to remove oil and grease and wash it down the drain.
Which explains why acetone dissolve nail polish?
a nonpolar solvent will dissolve a nonpolar solute
Why does coconut oil dont mis with water?
Coconut oil is composed of lipids (fats) which are nonpolar compounds that are not miscible with water, which is polar. The chemical reason is a bit complex and involves physical chemistry to explain, but in short, nonpolar molecules do not carry much of a partial charge distribution, while polar molecules do. As far as polar and nonpolar compounds go, "like dissolves like" is the general rule and so polar compounds like to stay with polar compounds (this is why water and vinegar will mix) and nonpolar compounds like to stay with nonpolar compounds (mixing oils - although, depending on the density, these may separate with time). A brief chemistry explanation: the association of polar compounds with nonpolar compounds is energetically unfavorable and so these molecules do their best to not associate with each other because it would require an energy input to do so. In general, chemical systems try to stay at the lowest energy level possible and so adding energy to put two molecules together is an energy-involving process, which makes it less favorable and therefore less likely to occur. This is called the "hydrophobic effect".
