    Size and polarity

    Explanation:

    I can think of two reasons:

    Size - the molecules may be too big to pass through the pores of the membrane Polarity - polar molecules and ions cannot pass through a nonpolar membrane.

    The cell membrane has selective permeability and chooses which to pass through. Non polar molecules can pass easily with diffusion, but ions cannot.
