Is water composed of polar molecules?
Nonpolar Solvent - A solvent (from the Latin solvere, "loosen") is a liquid, solid, or gas that dissolves another solid, liquid, or gaseous.....
What type of organic molecule requires the action of emulsifiers to be sucessfully digested?
Fat molecules. Water molecule is polar, and therefore water is a good solvent for other polar molecules, dissolving them when they come in contact with one another. Water is not a good solvent for nonpolar molecules, such as fats. A fat has no polar grups to interact with water molecules. An emulsifier, however, can cause a fat to disperse in water. An emulsifier contains molecules with both polar and nonpolar ends. When the nonpolar ends interact with the fat and the polar ends interact with the water molecule, the fat disperses in water, and an emulsion results.
The attraction between water molecules is the result of water?
The attraction is: A POLAR COVALENT BOND
Why do water molecules break up other polar molecules?
Because water is polar, so when a when a polar solute is put in it will dissolve. Like dissolves like. Polar dissolves polar. Likewise, nonpolar dissoves nonpolar.
What Water molecules are polar with the what?
I don
What polar molecules are attracted to water?
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.
What are water-fearing molecules called?
hydrophobia
What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?
Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
What would mix the best with water non polar molecules polar molecules fatty molecules symmetrical molecules?
Polar molecules are mixed better with water.
If water has no net charge explain why it attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules?
Water attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules because water has polar molecules. Water does have a net dipole though it doesn't have net charge.
Why do oil and water hate each other?
Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.
What kind of molecules are water fearing?
hydrophobic.
What kinds of molecules do water dissolve?
It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.
If a water molecule is neutral why does it attract polar molecules?
A water molecule is polar, which is why it attracts other polar molecules.
What do molecules do in water?
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.

What makes a molecule hydrophobic?
Most carbohydrate's follow (CH2O)n as their chemical formula therefore they tend to have several hydroxyl groups (O-H bonds). Hydroxyl groups are polar and therefore interact well with water. In addition there is a carbonyl group (C=O) which is also a polarized functional group and therefore can interact with water well.* note n refers to the number of "carbon-hydrate" groups.
