When a charged object such as a rubber balloon is brought close to a fine stream of a polar liquid, the stream is attracted toward the electrical charge. If the same charged object is brought close to ...

Each molecule consists of a long non-polar covalent hydrocarbon ‘tail’ and a polar, ionic ‘head’ where the charge is. This structure explains the cleansing action of soap as the non-polar ...

Compounds may be ionic, are usually polar, and must be soluble in methanol, acetonitrile, water, or mixtures of these. Nonpolar compounds may be ionized if they will complex with alkali metal or ...

Alcohol has one O–H bond which is polar, but a large portion of the molecule is made up of C–H bonds which are nonpolar. Alcohol molecules do not attract each other as strongly as water molecules and ...

high surface tension relatively high viscosity All ionic lattices and polar covalent molecules are: soluble in water and other polar solvents insoluble in non-polar solutions (eg hexane ...

The water is polar, so it dissolves the polar color and sugar. The alcohol has a polar area but a larger non-polar area. It is not a good dissolver of color or sugar. The oil is non-polar and does not ...
