Which one of these characterizes a hydrophilic substance, a substance that is easily mixed with water?

Select one of the options below as your answer:

A. Substances that are polar in nature
B. Substances that are nonpolar in nature
C. Substances that are inert in nature

Respuesta :

A polar molecule has a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges from polar bonds arranged asymmetrically. The dipoles do not cancel out resulting in a net dipole. Due to the polar nature of the water molecule itself, polar molecules are generally able to dissolve in water. So the right answer is A.
