Answer #1

Non polar compounds share equal number of electron by the atoms. These are repelled by water and do not dissolve in water, such as oil grease etc which are hydrophobic.

                           Hydrophobic compounds includes hydrocarbons; except it has an attached ionized functional group such as carboxylic acid (COOH), then the molecule is hydrophilic, the cells are 70-90% water, the degree to which organic molecules interact with water affects their function. Thats the reason humidity affects solubility of non polar toxic organic compound.
