due to its lack of _____ atoms and it's _______ structure, benzene is highly nonpolar. Therefore, only _______ molecules such as lipids will readily dissolve in it. Slightly more _______ molecules such as fatty acids and cholesterol will have low solubility in benzene.

Answer choices are:
Asymmetrical
Nonpolar
Symmetrical
Lipids
Polar

Respuesta :

Answer:

Polar; Symmetrica; Nonpolar; Lipids

Explanation:

  • Benzene is a hydrocarbon with molecular formula C6H6. Benzene contains only atoms of carbon and hydrogen, that are non polar.
  • A polar molecule can dissolve only polar and a nonpolar can dissolve only non polar.
  • Benzene ring have a 6-Fold symmetry.

Due to its lack of _Polar_ atoms and it's __Symmetrical_ structure, benzene is highly nonpolar. Therefore, only _Nonpolar_ molecules such as lipids will readily dissolve in it. Slightly more _Lipids_ molecules such as fatty acids and cholesterol will have low solubility in benzene.
