Question

Propane, C3H8, consists of ________________ bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.

Answer 1

Non-polar covalent

Explanation:

Propane is made up of non-polar covalent bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.

Propane is an hydrocarbon gas.

It forms by sharing of electrons between two atoms with very low electronegativity differences.

This differences results in equal sharing of the shared electron. Therefore they form a non-polar covalent bond.

Water is a polar covalent compound and cannot dissolve compounds that are not polar like propane.

Propane will only dissolve in a like substance like hexane which is equally non-polar.
