Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are non-polar molecules while water is polar molecule, so there is no way for water to attach to a lipid molecule. Instead, the non-polar lipids will bind to themselves, which is why oils and fats form droplets on the surface of water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids, i.e., fatty molecules, on the other hand, are non-polar, meaning that the charge distribution is evenly distributed, and the molecules do not have positive and negatively charged ends..
Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids Are Defined by Solubility and Intermolecular Forces As alluded to above, lipids are a class of naturally occurring molecules that are soluble in nonpolar organic solvents, and are not soluble in water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Lipids are insoluble in water because lipid molecules are hydrophobic.
