Polarity of Molecules and Properties

The document discusses the polarity of molecules and how it relates to their properties such as miscibility and solubility. Polar molecules like water are able to mix with other polar molecules and solvents, forming homogeneous mixtures. Nonpolar molecules like oil do not mix with polar molecules and solvents due to differences in polarity. The general rule is that "like dissolves like," meaning polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.

 Learning Objective: relate the polarity of molecules to it’s properties
MISCIBILITY & SOLUBILITY
Miscible or Immiscible / Soluble or Insoluble
Solubility is defined as the ability of solid substance to be dissolved in a
given amount of solvent.

Miscibility is the ability of the two liquids to combine or mix in all


proportions, creating a homogenous mixture.
We already know that oil and water cannot mixed together,
what causes this phenomenon?

Water is a polar substance and oil is a nonpolar substance.


Knowledge of the polar and the nonpolar characteristics of a
substance is very important in the dissolution process as a rule;
Nonpolar compound
dissolves in nonpolar
solvent And polar compounds
dissolve in polar solvents

“LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE”


Polar molecules will mix to form
solutions and nonpolar molecules
will also mix to form solutions.

But a polar and nonpolar


combination will not form a solution
 Oil is non polar

 Water is polar
