Solubility: Summary
240233207
This text is not well-crafted or complete, and we will include images. But it gives you the idea.
I am very excited about scaffolding insolubility as the inability to infiltrate the close ties between water molecules, rather than as fear or clumping!!!
Water loves water.
In order for a substance to dissolve in water, it must be good a breaking up the interactions between water molecules. If molecules can't break the water interactions (called hydrogen bonds [link to review page]) and get inbetween the water molecules, they won't dissolve in water.
How good are lipid molecules (in gray below) at infiltrating the water? They start out in one corner. Can they get inbetween the water molecules and surround themselves with water?
Compare them to the polar molecules (blue).
You can run both models at the same time to compare. Run the models for at least 40 seconds.
