no, in the case of polar and nonpolar the two do not mix it's like putting olive oil in milk

Polar compounds are those which have a net charged moment. Nonpolar compounds do not have a net charge, they are equal and neutral
polar
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
Nonpolar. There's a slight amount of polarity because of the double bond, but not much.
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
