Because these mountains encompass the largest nonpolar ice mass in the world — some 46,298 glaciers covering 17 percent of the area's land mass — the region is known as the "third pole."

Most laboratories store chemicals in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a popular solvent that can dissolve both polar (i.e., miscible with water) and nonpolar compounds.

For example, concentration gradient, molecular weight, lipid solubility, and polarity are important, with the smaller, nonpolar toxicants, in high concentrations, most likely to gain entrance.

As a rule, substances made of polar molecules do not mix with substances made of nonpolar molecules.

The nonpolar end is soluble in oil and grease and repelled by water: it is water-hating or hydrophobic.

And generally speaking, the more polar a substance is, the more soluble it is in water, and the more nonpolar it is, the less soluble in water.

Dirt, foods, cleaners, and other substances in the home can be divided into three chemical categories: ionic, polar, and nonpolar.

The more nonpolar a substance is, the more nonpolar a solvent you need to dissolve it.
