Alcohol has one O–H bond which is polar, but a large portion of the molecule is made up of C–H bonds which are nonpolar. Alcohol molecules do not attract each other as strongly as water molecules and ...

is locked away at the centre and no matter what direction you approach the molecule from you see a \(\delta-\) charge. This means that the molecule itself is non-polar due to symmetry.

If the same charged object is brought close to a stream of a nonpolar liquid, the stream flow remains unaffected. You can draw the structural formula for water and hexane or build models of these ...

If both of them are polar (have an uneven distribution of electrons and therefore of charge within the molecule) or both are nonpolar (an even distribution of charge), then solubility will be high ...
