Solids will dissolve if the attractive force of the water molecules is stronger than the attractive force of the crystal. • If not the solids are insoluble. • Water doesn’t dissolve nonpolar molecules because it the water molecules can’t hold onto them. • The water molecule hold onto each other and separate from the polar molecules.
