Lesson 1.2.2
Polarity and Solubility: The Principle That Drives Everything
Estimated time: 60 minutes
Learning Objectives
- ✓Understand polarity at a molecular level: electronegativity, dipole moments, and why molecules behave differently
- ✓Know the rule: like dissolves like and how it applies to every extraction decision
- ✓Understand the polarity spectrum from nonpolar (hydrocarbons) to polar (water) and where cannabinoids sit on it
- ✓Know why ethanol is a universal extractor: its hydroxyl group makes it polar enough to pull everything
- ✓Understand how temperature modifies solubility and selectivity
