Differences of polarity between different compounds (molecules) have two causes:
- differences of asymmetry between these molecules
- differences between the electronegativity of the atoms contained in the molecule

The tendency of water molecules to attract one another due to polarity is calle?
Cohension
Does polarity cause water move from the roots of a plant up to its leaves?
False. Water moves up the Xylem due to a transpiration vaccuum. The polarity allows it to remain cohesive however
What problems are there with reverse polarity?
Reversing polarity ,changes the rotation of the device you are changing polarity on.
In column chromatography separation of p-nitroaniline and o-nitroaniline which will be aluted first and why?
o-nitroaniline is eluted first due to the polarity of it and the silica
What is the polarity of C Cl14?
Its polarity is zero.CCl4 is non polar
What type of bond results between water molecules due to water's polarity?
Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules due to water's polarity.
What is the polarity of N2O?
It is polar due to the electronegativity difference
What is the concept of polarity?
The idea that the universe is held in balance by two equal but opposite forces.
Why is the concept of polarity important in biochemical systems?
because it effects the consisitancy and make up of the atom
Does the concept of polarity explain water peculiar properties?
Water is a polar molecule, it means that a water molecule has an uneven distribution of electron density. This polarity of water gives it unique properties such as - vaporization, strong surface tension, high specific heat and universal solvent properties Floating of ice in water and the exclusion of compounds containing carbon and hydrogen are also due to polarity of water.
Water has important qualities due to polarity and?
electromagnitude
What is the polarity of caffeine?
caffeine is polar due to the amines group and it is basic
What forms due to polarity and is responsible for many of water's properties?
hydrogen bonds
What is ethanol polarity?
it is polar due to the OH hydroxyl group. all alcohols are polar due to the polar OH group.
Which is described as a charge imbalance within a molecue due to unequal distribution of electrons?
polarity
Weak bond formed between water molecules due to their polarity?
Hydrogen Bond
Why is a solid moved along by a gas?
This is due to capillary action and the rules of solubility and polarity.
