Question
the molecule you just labeled fits neither of those two categories. it has no areas carrying a full charge (as ions have), nor does it have areas of significant partial negative or partial positive charge (as polar molecules have). the molecule is nonpolar. this is because all or most of the molecule is made up of nonpolar regions (shown in green).
would water form a sphere of hydration around this substance?
no, because this molecule has a polar region.
no, because this molecule is an ion.
no, because this molecule is nonpolar.
yes, because this molecule is polar and small enough to mix with water.
yes, because this molecule has both polar and nonpolar regions.
Water forms a sphere of hydration around polar or ionic substances. Since the molecule is nonpolar (as stated in the text), water won't form a sphere of hydration around it.
