The corrected statement should read:
Nonpolar compounds such as lipids attract eachother and repel polar molecules like water.
The corrected statement should read:
Water molecules do not interact with nonpolar compounds, which become oriented away from water.
state the principle of separating two immiscible liquids by separating funnel. describe an activity with diagram to separate a mixture of water and kerosene oil. answer: immiscible layers separate out in layers depending on their densities in separating funne
a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth
prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of rain or snow. this dry air produces a rain shadow.
Given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
What part of the statement below is incorrect? Rewrite the statement such that it displays the correct reasoning behind why non-polar molecules do not dissolve in water.
Water molecules repel non-polar substances away from itself.repel needs to be replaced with "do not attract".non-polar needs to be replaced with "polar".away needs to be replaced with "towards".The corrected statement should read: Non-polar compounds such as lipids attract each other and repel polar molecules like water. The corrected statement should read: Water molecules do not interact with non-polar compounds, which become oriented away from water.The corrected statement should read: Water molecules attract polar and non-polar compounds, but the non-polar compounds are "sticky" so they stick together.
Explanation:
It is known that like dissolves like. Similarly, a polar molecule will readily combine or dissolve with another polar molecule.
For example, when sodium chloride is added to water then it will readily dissolve in it because NaCl is ionic in nature and water is polar.
On the other hand, a non-polar compound will readily combine or dissolve in another non-polar compound.
For example, acetone will dissolve in hexane.
Hence, non-polar lipids will also attract each other.
Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options the corrected statements are as follows.
The corrected statement should read: Non-polar compounds such as lipids attract each other and repel polar molecules like water. The corrected statement should read: Water molecules do not interact with non-polar compounds, which become oriented away from water.
