What is example of polar aprotic solvent and nonpolar aprotic solvent?
An example of a polar aprotic solvent is THF, or tetrahydrofuran. It has the carbon-oxygen bond making it polar, but it has no protons that can freely dissociate form the compound. An example of a non-polar aprotic solvent is hexanes. hexanes have only carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds, making it non-polar. They also do not have any protons that can freely dissociate from the compound
Is acetone polar covalent?
Yes, and it's also aprotic, I believe.
Why iodine dissolves readily in tetrachloromethane?
Both iodine and tetrachloromethane are nonpolar and aprotic solvents.therefore they can mix together and iodne is dissolved in tetrachloromethane and changes its colour from brown to purple.

Why protic slovents favours SN2 reaction and aprotic solventsfavours SN1 reactions?
you have it backwards. SN2: you want a polar APROTIC solvent. Protons are bad because they would solvate (surround) and stabilize the nucleophile, making it less reactive. SN1: you want a polar PROTIC solvent. Protons are good because they will solvate (surround) and stabilize the leaving group as it leaves. This lowers the energy of the transition state and makes the reaction go faster. a final teaching point: recognize that your question essentially is about what makes the reaction go faster, which is a question of KINETICS, NOT THERMODYNAMICS (if you want to be good at orgo, this concept is VERY IMPORTANT). You will make the reaction go faster by stabilizing the transition state of the rate limiting step. The transition state of the rate limiting step in an SN1 reaction is the leaving group leaving (the nucleophile is NOT involved, therefore, it does not matter that it is solvated). That of an SN2 reaction is the nucleophile attacking the carbon center as the leaving group is leaving (the nucleophile IS involved, so it must not be solvated).
What is the geometry of Ph3SnCl and DMSO complex?
Use the link below to begin your investigation of the geometry of Ph3SnCl and the polar aprotic solvent DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide).
Is DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide dangerous?
Yes. Dimethyl sulfoxide is dangerous. It is a polar aprotic solvent and can transport compounds through the skin and body extremely well. It is an industrial chemical, and not approved for use on humans by the f.d.a. If you are going to use it topically, dilute it a lot and use with something like aloe vera, vit c, tart cherry juice, activated silica, or some antioxidant because dimethyl sulfoxide is an oxidant. Only use on extremely clean skin because any crap on there will get dissolved into bloodstream, muscle, fat, who knows - maybe even bone.

Why is ether medium used in wurtz reaction?
Wurtz reaction is a SN2 reaction and thus requires an aprotic solvent as it medium. dry ether proves to be a very good, non-polar, aprotic solvent and is thus used in Wurtz reaction.
What is example of polar protic solvent and polar aprotic solvent?
-Polar protic solvent has a hydrogen atom attached to a strongly electronegative element (e.g. oxygen) that forms hydrogen bonds. On the other hand, polar aprotic solvents are those solvents whose molecules do not have a hydrogen atom that's attached to an atom of an electronegative element.-Polar protic solvent solvate cations and anions effectively while aprotic solvents do not solvate anions to any appreciable extend.-Polar protic solvents are more suitable for SN1 reactions, while aprotic solvents are used for SN2 reactionsReference: Organic Chemistry 9/e, T.W.

Does uranium triiodide have a catalytic or reactive effect on polar aprotic solvents such as acetone?
It has a catalytic effect.

Chloride is better nucieophile than bromide in polar aprotic solvent?
Yes, Chloride is smaller, hence more electronegative and more willing to share an electron with the carbon atom.
What is iodine dissolved in tetrachloromethane?
Both iodine and tetrachloromethane are non-polar and aprotic solvents. Therefore, they could mix togther and iodine is dissolved in CCl4 and changes its colour from brown to purple.
What does protic refer to?
The hydrogen atom bound to an oxygen or a naitrogen is called aprotic solvent.
