Polar in chemistry, also know as a polar covalent bond, happens when 2 or more non-metals create a bond. Polar bonds are usually liquids or solids and are soluble. For example, water (H2O) is polar covanlent. It is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen, with hydrogen having a partial positive and oxygen with a partial negative. This means that neither can make full ions, only partial.

Is benzophenone polar or non polar?

If you'll take a look at its structure benzophenone is polar but during our laboratory we were able to determine if it's polar or non-polar by TLC. The TLC plate was developed in a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate with a 9:1 ratio respectively. This would mean that the solvent used is non-polar due to the large amount of petroleum ether. Finally our group was able to determine the Rf value of benzophenone and we found out that it has an Rf value of 0.4737 so this would mean that benzophenone is non-polar because its Rf value is near to 1.


Is Chloroform methanol polar?

Yes, chloroform is a polar molecule due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine atoms. Methanol is also a polar molecule due to the presence of the hydroxyl group which results in uneven distribution of charge in the molecule.


What molecule has a positive end and negative end?

A zwitterion, if you mean formal charges. If you just mean relatively positive and negative, then a polar molecule.


What does it mean to be a polar compound?

A polar compound is a molecule in which there is an uneven distribution of electron density, resulting in a partial positive and partial negative charge within the molecule. This charge separation leads to the molecule having a positive and negative end, making it interact with other polar molecules or ions, such as water.


Is vanillin polar or nonpolar?

Vanillin is polar because it has polar functional groups such as hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. These functional groups create uneven distribution of charge within the molecule, making it polar overall.
