Question

true or false: nonpolar fat molecules cannot dissolve in polar water. true fase

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The principle of "like dissolves like" is applied. Polar water molecules have a partial charge distribution (due to the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen), while non - polar fat molecules have no significant charge separation. There are no strong attractive forces (such as dipole - dipole or hydrogen bonding) between non - polar fat molecules and polar water molecules to overcome the cohesive forces within the water and fat substances.

Answer:

true
