Schwartz · Answer 1

Number 1 is false

Explanation:

1. - Charged molecules are insoluble in water. The statement is false, charged molecules are soluble in water and this is the main characteristic of charged molecules.

2. - Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar and hydrophilic molecules tend to be polar. This is true, hydrophobic molecules are non polar and hydrophilic molecules are polar.

3. - Gasoline has partial positive and negative charges which allows it to dissolve in water. This is true, gasoline is soluble in water.

4. - NH3 dissolves in water because its molecules form hydrogen bonds with water. This is true, NH3 interact with water because they can form hydrogen bonds.

5. - Hydrophobic molecules prefer to interact with each other in an aqueous solution. Absolutely true, hydrophobic molecules interact among them and they isolate from the environment.
