A molecule of methanol has five covalent bonds.
Difference between polar bond and a polar molecule?
polar bond.
Can a molecule with polar bonds be a non polar molecule?
yes, a non polar molecule can have a polar bond, as long as it has another opposite polar bond to counter the first.
Acetonitrile is more polar than methanol why?
Acetonitrile is a more polar molecule than methanol because of the triple bond and lone pair on the nitrogen (N) atom in acetonitrile. This makes that end of the molecule highly electronegative, even more so than an oxygen (O) atom containing two lone pairs in methanol.
Does a sugar molecule have a polar bond to a gasoline molecule?
No, both are organic and should not have a polar bond.
Why is water more polar than methanol?
Water and methanol each have two polar bonds. Water has two O-H bonds while methanol has an O-H bond and a O-C bond. An O-H bond is more polar that an O-C bond because hydrogen is less electronegative than carbon.
Is methanol more soluable than methane?
Yes, methanol is CH3OH and methane is CH4. Methanol is polar (because of the O-H bond) and methane is non-polar (because it is a hydrocarbon.) Water (which is polar) will dissolve other polar things, but not non-polar things.

Is the OH covalent bond in methanol intramolecular or intermolecular?
the OH covalent bond in methanol is intramolecular because its occurring within the molecule, where as intermolecular is between the molecules.
Which solvent is more polar methanol or acetonitrile why?
Acetonitrile is slightly more polar than methanol. This is due to the presence of the C-N triple bond in acetonitrile (CH3CN).
How do you find the polarity of CH3OH?
This is methanol compound. There is a polar -O-H bond.
What is an Example of a polar bond and a non polar molecule?
Polar bond: covalent (the sharing of electrons between metals and non-metals) Non-polar molecule: fats, oils, and gasoline
What type of bond forms a polar molecule?
Covalent bond.
Is cf3cl polar?
CF3Cl is a polar molecule. There are three C-F polar bond and and C-Cl polar bond. The bond dipoles do not cancel out and hence the compound is a polar molcule.
