Best Answer

the direction is towards the oxygen since the Oxygen atom has a much higher eletronegativity than either of the three Hydrogen atoms or the Carbon atom itself.

Is methanol more polar than acetone?

Methanol is more polar because is capable of dipole-dipole interactions AND hydrogen bonding while acetone is capable of just dipole-dipole interaction.


Which orientation of an electric dipole in an uniform electric field would correspond to unstable equilibrium?

So interesting query! As we keep the dipole with its dipole moment along the direction of the electric field then it will be in stable equilibrium. IF we keep the same dipole inverted ie its dipole moment opposite to the external field then the dipole will be in unstable equilibrium.


Is methanol London dispersion?

methanol- has a O on the end giving a polar side to the molecule allowing for dipole dipole interactions and there are London Dispersion forces.

Why Nh3 and Nf3 has high dipole moment?

This is because in ammonia the direction of resultant dipole is towards lone pair and hence it has high dipole moment but in case of NF3 the direction of resultant dipole moment is opposite to the lone pair and hence the dipole moment gets less.
