Which kind of polarity do water-soluble and fat-soluble substances demonstrate?

  

Answers


Felix
•Water-soluble substances are polar molecules, meaning that they have electrically charged areas. These molecules are called “water-soluble” because they are soluble in water, which is also a polar molecule.

•Fat-soluble substances are non-polar molecules, meaning that they are electrically neutral. They are called “fat-soluble” because they dissolve other non-polar substances.
