Are saturated Hydrocarbons non-polar

Answer 1

Hydrocarbons are usually nonpolar, since their bonds line up opposite each other to cancel out any dipole moment. But in small hydrocarbons that have an alcohol group (OH), which is a polar group, a small dipole moment can result thus making the hydrocarbon polar. But in large chains hydrocarbons containing one alcohol group, the size of the hydrocarbon cancels any polarity resulting from the group out, thus the hydrocarbon is nonpolar.

Answer 2

Pretty sure that aromatics are stabilized by resonance so they are not polar.

Answer 3

Some of them are nonpolar, and the ones which are polar are not VERY polar, since carbon and hydrogen are pretty close in electronegativity.

Answer 4

Hydrocarbons are nonpolar.

Answer 5

They are nonpolar.

Answer 6

Non polar

Answer 7

non-polar
