polar molecules
molecules with some form of charge imbalance, tend to be asymetrical
molecules with some form of charge imbalance, tend to be asymetrical
Polar Molecules
Nonpolar molecules
molecules with no overal poles/charge, tend to be symetrical
molecules with no overal poles/charge, tend to be symetrical
Nonpolar molecules
Like disloves like
polar chemicals prefer polar solvents and avoid nonpolar solvents, and vice versa
nonpolar chemicals prefer nonpolar sovents, and vice versa
like dissolves like
hydrogen bonding
a week bond between a hydrogen and an electrophilic atom, greatly increases water solubility

Kow
a measureement of weather a chemical would rather be in water or fat, the higher it is, the more hydrophobic it is
