Best Answer

Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.

Is fat polar?

Fats and oils are nonpolar, so they will remain separate from molecules of a polar solvent such as water. Sodium and chloride ions are attracted to charged regions on molecules of polar solvents such as water.


What are water molecules attracted to?

Because water molecules are polar covalent, one side is slightly negative and the other slightly positive. Thus, they are attracted to one another.


Why dissolve Br2 in methylene chloride and not in water?

because water is highly polar and Br2 is non-polar so the molecules in the water are more attracted to each other. But methylene chloride is non-polar so its molecules are no more strongly attracted to other methylene chloride molecules than they are to Br2 molecules. Since all of the forces are weak, the substance can dissolve.


Do water molecules attract nonpolar molecules such as oil?

Yes, but they attract polar molecules more strongly."Hydrophobic" molecules is a misnomer. The nonpolar molecules in question are attracted to water molecules (usually more strongly than they're attracted to each other, even), but they get "shoved out of the way" by polar "hydrophilic" molecules which are even more strongly attracted to water molecules.


When the molecules are attracted to a charged wand are they polar or nonpolar?

When there attracted to the charged wand they are polar.


What are some interesting facts about oil?

Water molecules won't form a solution (are not miscible) in oil. The reason is that water molecules are polar, and oil molecules are not. Water molecules, in an environment of oil, are attracted to each other, and this polar bonding excludes the oil molecules.


What characteristics of a water molecule causes its attraction to a cell membrane?

Water molecules are polar This causes them to be attracted to the cell surface, which is also polar in nature


Are poler substances attracted to the other poler substances or to the nonpoler substances?

Polar molecules are attracted to other polar molecules with an opposite charge.
