The majority of organic compounds (including oils, fats, components of petroleum etc.) are nonpolar. The electrons in these molecules are equally shared between the contained elements.

Is salad oil polar?
nonpolar.
Why does water not dissolve motor oil?
because oil is nonpolar and water is polar
Are lipids polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar or polar
How does laundry detergent work on a molecular level?
The molecule that makes up soap or detergent has a polar head and a nonpolar tail. In chemistry, compounds that are polar like to mix with other polar compounds and compounds that are nonpolar like to mix with other nonpolar compounds. This is why oil and water don't mix. Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. Oil and grease are a nonpolar compounds. When in water the soap molecules will arrange themselves in such a way that the nonpolar tails surround the grease creating a spherical droplet. On the face of this sphere is the polar heads of the soap molecule. This allows it to interact with the polar water. This is how soap and laundry detergent are able to remove oil and grease and wash it down the drain.
Is C3H6Br2 polar or non polar?
Nonpolar
Is olive oil polar?
no, its hydrophobic
Do polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?
no, in the case of polar and nonpolar the two do not mix it's like putting olive oil in milk
Is candle wax ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent also what type of bonding does sugar salt and olive oil have?
Candle wax is covalent! Olive oil is non polar covalent. Because it can not disolve in water and water is polar.
Is salad oil polar?
nonpolar.
Why doesnt oil dissolve in ocean water?
The reason why oil doesn't dissolve in ocean water is because oil is nonpolar and water is polar.
What type of molecules interact with water polar or nonpolar?
Polar. Just think of this, oil is non polar, oil doesnt mix with water.
Why won't oil mix with water?
because water is polar and oil is nonpolar
Why does water not dissolve motor oil?
because oil is nonpolar and water is polar
Are lipids polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar or polar
Are oil-base paints polar nonpolar or both?
Both
Is mineral oil soluble in a solution ofwater and tetrahydrofuran?
Mineral oil is a nonpolar compound. Water and tetrahydrofuran are both polar compounds. Polar compounds and nonpolar compounds do not generally mix.
C2H2 polar or nonpolar?
polar covalent
