Question
- which of the following statements is true about nonpolar molecules? a. they do not have significant dipole moments. b. they have partial positive and negative charges. c. they dissolve well in polar solvents. d. they dissolve well in water.
Brief Explanations
Non - polar molecules have an even distribution of electrons, resulting in no significant separation of positive and negative charges, so they do not have significant dipole moments. Polar molecules have partial positive and negative charges. Non - polar molecules do not dissolve well in polar solvents like water due to the "like dissolves like" principle.
