When it comes to dissolving THC, it’s all about polarity—or, more specifically, non -polarity. Cannabinoids will dissolve into any non-polar solvent, and there are many of these to choose from.

Polar and ionic compounds tend to be soluble in polar solvents, whereas non-polar compounds tend to be soluble in non-polar solvents. By looking for polar bonds and arrangement of bonds in a ...

For Higher Chemistry, revise the ways that elements are held together and the attractive forces that determine the chemical properties of substances.

Looking at what’s left, the polar solvents that might be most readily available in large volumes to support a biochemistry are firstly water (H2O), then ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

Proteins carry out the most difficult tasks in living cells. They do so by interacting specifically with other molecules. This requires that they fold to a unique, globular conformation that is only ...
