#1
Front (Question)

Why do we care about polarity?

Back (Answer)

Because polarity determines solubility. Polar substances will dissolve in water (and other polar solvents). Nonpolar will not dissolve

#2
Front (Question)

Are polar or nonpolar substances soluble?

Back (Answer)

Polar

#3
Front (Question)

Examples of nonpolar solvents?

Back (Answer)

hexane, benzene, toluene

#4
Front (Question)

Are O-H bonds polar or nonpolar?

Back (Answer)

polar

#5
Front (Question)

the more O-H bonds a molecule has, the more polar or nonpolar it is?

Back (Answer)

More OH bonds, more polar the molecule

#6
Front (Question)

Are C-H bonds polar or nonpolar?

Back (Answer)

nonpolar

#7
Front (Question)

the more C-H bonds a molecule has, the more polar or nonpolar?

Back (Answer)

More CH bonds, more NONpolar the molecule

#8
Front (Question)

truck (central atom) stuck in mud hint for determining whether a molecule is polar or not

Back (Answer)

draw Lewis structure, draw arrows between every atom from less electronegative to more electronegative, *IF your truck (central atom) would move in the direction of arrows it is polar and if not, it is nonpolar
