vähäpolaarisia
Vähäpolaarisia refers to substances that exhibit low polarity. In chemistry, polarity describes the separation of electric charge in a molecule, leading to a dipole. This arises when there is an uneven distribution of electron density, often due to differences in electronegativity between bonded atoms or the molecule's geometry. Substances with low polarity, or nonpolar substances, have a relatively even distribution of electron density. This can occur in molecules composed of identical atoms (e.g., diatomic molecules like O2 or N2) or molecules where the bond polarities cancel each other out due to symmetry (e.g., carbon tetrachloride, CCl4).
The principle "like dissolves like" is fundamental when considering the solubility of vähäpolaarisia substances. Nonpolar solvents,
Examples of vähäpolaarisia compounds include many hydrocarbons like alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Fats and oils, which
