Why acetone is more polar than ethylacetate?

The dipole moment in acetone is greater than in the acetate group and therefore acetone is more polar (polarity index of 5.1) than ethylacetate (polarity index 4.4).CH3COCH3 as opposed to CH3COOCH2CH3While both compounds contain a double bond to oxygen (as highlighted above), which creates a strong dipole moment (i.e. polarity in the molecule) the adjacent oxygen in the acetate group attracts electrons to itself reducing the electron density in the double bonded oxygen thereby reducing the molecule's polarity.
