Yes the electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is .91 making it polar covalent and carbon is able to triple bond with oxygen making carbon slightly positive and oxygen slightly negative on each sides of the molecule.

no carbon dioxide is not an polar molecule.

it has a linear structure, so the electronegativity does not matter in the case of CO2.

Why are carbon tetrachloride is miscisble in water?

Water is a polar solvent and carbon tetrachloride is a non polar compound. The London forces between these two species are not strong enough to keep them mixed.


What solvent would carbon tetrachloride be more soluble?

It does not make sense to ask what solvent would be more soluble. Solutes are soluble in solvents. In any event, carbon tetrachloride is a very potent solvent of non-polar chemicals.


What happen when a non-polar solute is mixed in a non-polar solvent?

the non polar solute gets dissolved as non polar solutes tend to dissolve in non polar solvents than in polar solvents. for eg: benzene(non polar solute) gets dissolved in carbon tetrachloride which is a non polar solvent but not in water because it is a polar solvent.


Will sodium chloride dissolves in carbon tetrachloride?

NaCl will not dissolve in CCl4 is a polar molecule and polar molecule will only dissolve other polar molecules. As the same goes for non polar molecules.


What hapens to potassium nitrate when dissolved in carbon tetrachloride?

Potassium nitrate is polar, while carbon tetrachloride is non polar. So there will be a layer of potassium nitrate and a layer of carbon tetrachloride, which will not mingle with one another.


Does sodium chloride dissolve in CS2?

Because carbon disulfide is a non-polar solvent sodium chloride is not soluble.


Is carbon tetrachloride or chloroform more polar?

CCl4 is not polar. But CHCl3 is polar.


What is the compound for CCl4?

Carbon tetrachloride, a useful but toxic solvent.


What is the organic solvent can use to dissolve urea please urgent?

Urea is a polar molecule that readily / easily dissolves in the polar solvent - water. The term 'organic solvent' is used to describe the more powerful non-polar solvents, such as benzene, or carbon tetrachloride (dry cleaning fluid), that are used to dissolve non-polar compounds.


Why is ammonia more soluble than carbon tetrachloride?

polar and non polar


Is carbon tetrachloride polar nonpolar or ionic?

CCl4 is nonpolar.


Which of the following substances will be soluble in the nonpolar solvent carbon tetrachloride ccl4 br2 c6h14 nano3 hcl explain?

Br2 and C6H14 are soluble in non-polar solvents such as CCl4.
