Is water a nonpolar molecule?
water is polar. That's why there's surface tension, because the positive side of one molecule is attracted to the negative side of another, so the molecules tend to stick together.
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.
Why can liquid boil at low temperatures?
Nonpolar substances have lower melting and boiling points than polar substances because their particles are not attracted to each other like polar molecules are. They tend to be gases at room temperature (CO2, CH4, O2, etc). Not much heat is reguired to separate non-polar molecules from one another
Is water less dense than hydrocarbons?
No, it's actually MORE dense than MOST hydrocarbons. There are very few, such as acetic acid, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, who are MORE dense, but MOST hydrocarbons are definitely LESS DENSE THAN WATER.
Why is the boiling point of butanone higher than pentane?
Butane is a smaller molecule, so the London Dispersion forces between molecules of butane hold the molecule together better than the London Dispersion forces of a hexane molecule. In short, it requires more energy to separate butane molecules from each other than hexane molecules.
What do water molecules in the air tend to stick to?
hair
Is water a nonpolar molecule?
water is polar. That's why there's surface tension, because the positive side of one molecule is attracted to the negative side of another, so the molecules tend to stick together.
What are the factors infuencing the absorded water films on the particles?
First of all water isn't absorbed by particles. The water molecules tend to stick around other particles because the surface tension of the water molecules cant balance the force of attraction between the water molecules and the molecules of the particle.
Does water have strong cohesive properties?
In terms of causing different molecules to stick together (like glue holding pieces of paper together), water is relatively weak. However, in terms of water molecules holding tight to other water molecules, they are very strong because they have particularly powerful intermolecular forces (called hydrogen bonds) that keep the molecules together.
Why does water stick to windows?
Water tends to cling to things because of its chemical properties. The oxygen in water carries a slightly negative charge where as the hydrogen carries slightly positive charges. Because of this, the molecules of water tend to cling together better, creating a high surface tension. It is this surface tension that helps water bead together on objects like glass.
Why does a sugar cube dissolve better in hotter water?
all things are made of molecules, when molecules are hot or warm, they expand quicker, when they are cooled they tend to clump together.
Why alcohol exist in a liquid state while smaller hydrocarbon tend to be gases?
Precisely because of the size of the molecules. Larger molecules have a greater tendency to stick together, because there are more places where they can interact, and thus, a greater total force.
What molecules attract other water molecules and tend to pile up via?
cohesion
Water molecules attract other water molecules and tend to pile up via?
Water molecules attract the opposite poles of other polar molecules through poles present in water itself.
What is the relationship between adhesion and cohesion?
Adhesion is the connecting of water molecules to one another through hydrogen bonds. Cohesion is the connection of water molecules to other objects. A relationship between them would be capillary action, or surface tension. Where water molecules must connect to both each other as well as another surface. This is a major property of water.
What caues surface water molecules to pull toeher?
It is called Cohesion. The process in which water molecules tend to become attracted to one another.
Why does an ice cubes volume expand?
Ice expands because more hydrogen bonds are formed as water cools. Heat is given off, more hydrogen bonds are formed, and water molecules tend to stick together. The way water molecules link together is open, so more space is formed as ice forms, causing ice to expand.
