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 are some numbers easier to add than others?
The answer depends on your familiarity with number bonds.
Why you need more than one coordinate system?
That is because - for example - some calculations are easier in polar coordinates, and some are easier in rectangular coordinates. For example, complex numbers are easier to add and subtract in rectangular coordinates, and easier to multiply and divide in polar coordinates.
What are some examples of SVOC?
Semi Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOC): Benzene, Toluene, Xilene
Why do different compounds travel different distances on the piece of paper?
i think that it is because some compounds are more dense than others so they don't move that much or that far as others do. Whereas other compounds are "thinner" than some and can move with more ease causing them to travel greater distances. It also has to do with the amount of friction between the paper and the certain compound.
The number of pi bonds in the oxalate ion c2o42- is?
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some chemistry now! So, the oxalate ion C2O4^2- has two double bonds, which means it has two pi bonds. It's like the cool kid in chemistry class with those two pi bonds, making it all stable and stuff.
