POLAR AND NONPOLAR MOLECULES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the ff. is TRUE about the solubility of nail polish with water?
A
water and nail polish are both polar
B
water is polar and nail polish is ionic
C
water and nail polish are both nonpolar
D
water is polar and nail polish is non polar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because it is a mixture of polymer and solvent low boiling solvent the solvent evaporates with time and the polymer vessel sets on the nail forming a thin coting or thin cot layer. So in this way the name police works, so the main person is polymerase, and that is a non polar substance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nail varnish does not dissolve in water because the water particles are not attracted to the nail varnish particles. They remain clumped together and we can still see the nail varnish in the water. We say that the nail varnish is insoluble in water and has formed a suspension.

Detailed explanation-3: -Substances with similar polarities tend to be soluble in one another ("like dissolves like"). Nonpolar substances are generally more soluble in nonpolar solvents, while polar and ionic substances are generally more soluble in polar solvents.

Detailed explanation-4: -Acetone is a polar molecule because it has a polar bond, and the molecular structure does not cause the dipole to be canceled.
