Question

oil, fat, and wax are unable to dissolve in water even though water is considered the universal solvent. what term best describes the atomic structure of molecules that do not dissolve in water? (1 point) they are negatively charged molecules. they are polar molecules. they are ionic molecules. they are nonpolar molecules.

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent. Non - polar molecules do not interact well with polar water molecules, so they do not dissolve in water. Polar and ionic molecules are generally water - soluble, and charge alone doesn't determine water - solubility in this context.

Answer:

They are nonpolar molecules.
