About this document
Polarity of Common Substances by Psychopomp is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes an experiment investigating the polarity of different molecules in water. It explains that oil and nail polish did not dissolve in water because they are non-polar, while salt and sugar did dissolve because salt is ionic and sugar is polar. Oil floats on water because it is less dense, while nail polish spreads across the surface due to its low surface tension.
