It is attracted to other polar molecules due to the slight negativity and positivity. Because of this, the adhesion and cohesion also comes in play and allows the water to stay in position by binding to each other and to other molecules.

∙ 13y agoOne end or tip of solvent's molicule must be highly electronegitive and the other tip must be highly electropositive. One can clearly see two 'poles' hence the word polar. For example: DMSO and Water.

∙ 9y agoI had an experiment where I dropped water, ethanol, baby oil, and dish soap on a penny and I had to see which would hold the most drops. Based on these observations, how can I determine whether the liquids are polar or non-polar?

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.
Can a non polar solute dissolve nonpolar solvent?
Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
Is H2O a solvent?
Yes it is a solvent.Iht is a polar solvent.
Is ethanol silver nitrate a polar solvent?
Ethanol is a polar solvent. Ethanol will dissolve silver nitrate.
What happen when a non-polar solute is mixed in a non-polar solvent?
the non polar solute gets dissolved as non polar solutes tend to dissolve in non polar solvents than in polar solvents. for eg: benzene(non polar solute) gets dissolved in carbon tetrachloride which is a non polar solvent but not in water because it is a polar solvent.
Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non- polar solvent?
Cyclohexane is a non polar solvent.
Which of these properties of water cannot be attributed to hydrogen bonding between water molecules?
non polar molecule
How does the shape of the water molecule contribute to its solvent properties?
The cause is the polar character of water molecule.
How does the shape of the water molecule contributes to its solvent properties?
The cause is the polar character of water molecule.
Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non polar solvent?
It is nonpolar
What does a polar solvent dissolve in?
a polar solvent dissolves a non polar solute
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.
What are the Differences between polar solvent and non polar solvent?
A polar solvent is a compound which has dipole moments which allow compounds which are able to form ion-dipole moments to dissolve. Non-polar solvent refers to compounds which have no polarity,(no dipole moments, or that the polarity is cancelled out), such as CCl4.
Is water a non-polar solvent?
No, water is a polar solvent because of the polar oxygen-hydrogen bonds and the geometry of the compound.
What type of solvent is best suited to dissolve ionic or highly polar substance?
The type of solvent that is best suited to dissolve an ionic or a highly polar solvent would also be highly polar, probably a polar protic solvent like water or alcohol.
Can a non polar solute dissolve nonpolar solvent?
Yes, like dissolves like so a nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar solutes and polar solvents dissolve polar solutes
Is H2O a solvent?
Yes it is a solvent.Iht is a polar solvent.
