Question

Water is made of polar molecules, and oil is made of nonpolar molecules. Based on your observations, which molecules attract each other more strongly, polar molecules or nonpolar molecules? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Based on observation of polar and non-polar molecules, polar molecules would attract each other more strongly.

What are polar and non-polar molecules?

Polar molecules are those molecules that can ionize or dissociate into their respective positive and negative ions when in an aqueous solution.

Nonpolar molecules, on the other hand, are not ionic i.e. not dissociating into ions when dissolved in water.

Polar molecules like water (H2O) contains an uneven distribution of cations (+) and anions (-), hence, would be more attracted to one another than nonpolar molecules that have an even distribution of ions.
