Question

A membrane is impermeable to charged molecules and does not allow passage of ions because of?

Answer 1

A membrane is impermeable to charged molecules and does not allow the passage of ions because the charged molecules possess polarity and the membrane possesses hydrophobic interiors.

Hydrophobic ions:

Charged hydrophilic molecules of all sizes, from small molecules to giant enzymes, can now be made more soluble via a technique called hydrophobic ion pairing. Hydrophobic molecules having hydrophilic moieties are ionically coupled with charged hydrophilic molecules, and the resulting uncharged complex is water-insoluble and will precipitate in aqueous conditions.

With polar solvents like water or alcohol, hydrophilic compounds can easily establish hydrogen bonds. Ionic (charged) groups with oxygen or nitrogen atoms make up the chemical structure of hydrophilic compounds. Typically, a substance's hydrophilicity is determined by its polarity. A molecule will be hydrophobic overall even if it has polar covalent bonds and these bonds are distributed symmetrically.
