Question

16. What explanation can be used to describe the test tube shown?

Answer 1

Answer:

Water is polar and oil is nonpolar so the substances won't mix.

Explanation:

Water is polar covalently bonded within the molecule. This unequal sharing of the electrons results in a slightly positive and a slightly negative side of the molecule. oils are nonpolar, so they will remain separate from molecules of a polar solvent such as water.
