Why is DNA insoluble in ethanol, on a molecular level?
Answered by ~christina~
ethanol is nonpolar while DNA is polar and in the saying "like disolves like" the same applies here. So DNA is soluble in water because it is polar.


Answered by ~christina~
and if I didn't make it clear this is the same reason that DNA is NOT soluble in ethanol since DNA is polar and ethanol is not.
