Yes. Compare the electronegativities of oxygen and hydrogen. Whichever is more electronegative will have more of a claim on the electrons, drawing them toward itself, and becoming slightly negative. So the oxygen becomes negative and the hydrogen positive. Polar liquids like water will dissolve anything that is made of positive and negative ions - like salt- and mix easily with other polar liquids - like ethanol - but not with non-polar liquids like oil. Water is a liquid because of the difference in electronegativity of the oxygen and hydrogen; the oxygen of one molecule will attract the hydrogen of the neighbouring molecule and so on. If this didn't happen there wouldn't be any liquid water on our planet and life would not have evolved the way it has. So all of life depends on the difference in electronegativity between two little atoms.

Is POOH'S polar or non polar?
The geometry of PO(OH)3 is tetrahedral with an unsymmetric charge distribution.Therefore this molecule is polar.
Is serine polar?
Yes serine is a polar amino acid as it has an hydroxyl group (OH-) attached to the r group.
Is the cholesterol molecule mostly non polar or polar and why?
It is MOSTLY non polar because it has 27 carbons arranged in several ring structures, and a side chain. This makes it non polar. The only polar parts of the molecule is an -OH group on one of the ring structures.
Which is a polar functional group found in alcohols?
The functional group in alcohols is the hydroxyl -OH.
What is more polar aspirin or salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid i would think Look at both their structures; salicylic acid has more polar -OH bonds
Is OH polar or non polar?
Polar
What is ethanol polarity?
it is polar due to the OH hydroxyl group. all alcohols are polar due to the polar OH group.
Is actetone polar or nonpolar?
C=C=C-OH C3H6O very much polar with the OH group
What are CH and OH bonds?
Ch and OH bonds are covalent in nature. Ch bond is non -polar while OH bond is polar covalent bond.
Is ethyelene Vinyl alcohol EVOH polar?
Ev OH polar
Is ho a Polar molecule?
yes, hydroxide (OH-) is a polar molecule
Is ascorbic acid polar?
yes as all of the OH groups make it polar
Is ch3ch2oh polar or nonpolar?
It is polar because of the -OH group and the relatively small alkyl-group (-C2H5)
Is POOH'S polar or non polar?
The geometry of PO(OH)3 is tetrahedral with an unsymmetric charge distribution.Therefore this molecule is polar.
How do you say polar bear in Spanish?
Oso Polar. Polar bear in Spanish is oso polar (OH-so po-LAHR).
What makes an alcohol to be polar?
-OH group present in alcohol makes it a polar covalent compound.
How many wounds can a polar bear give you?
oh , that's simple. A polar bear can kill you.
