yes because in the molecule CH3OH, oxygen has a very high electronegativity (tendency to atract electrons toward its nucleus) and as such, it pulls the electrons of the sigma-bonds with carbon and hydrogen, toward itself and takes on a partial negative charge. The carbon and especially the OH hydrogen have partial loss of electrons in the bond, and thus assume a partial positive charge. In solution, the negative oxygen centers attract the positive hydrogen centers and form what is known as hydrogen bonding, an electrostatic attraction between oxygen (-) and hydrogen (+). The molecule has an unequal distribution of +/- charge on its surface, and thus is deemed polar. Contrast this with methane (CH4) which is non-polar for symmetrical geometric reasons as well as electronagtivity reasons.
Methanol is considered a polar solvent. The structure of methanol is a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a methane (-CH3). The hydroxyl has a greater negative charge than the methane, resulting in an effective polarity of the solvent.
Methane is a symmetrical molecule with a central carbon atom with 4 hydrogen atoms about it that forms a tetrahedron. Each of the bonds are slightly polar, but overall, it's a non-polar molecule.
both bonds have electrical conductivity in water solutions, both have form chemical bonds, they both have melting points and solubility. ~Josh~
Methanol is covalent because it only contains NONmetal elements. An ionic bond needs a metal element.
Yes, methanol is covalent as are all alcohols.
No, Methanol is polar, but Hydrogen bond is not there
Methanol, CH3OH is a covalent molecule
Methanol has covalent bonds.
It forms a covalent bonding
Ionic
Cesium is a metal and fluorine is a nonmetal. When a metal and nonmetal bond, they form an ionic bond.
No. An ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. Since oxygen and nitrogen are both nonmetals, they form a covalent bond.
does aluminum and oxygen form a covalent bond
Sulphur and bromine generally form covalent bond and not ionic bond.
Ionic
it will form a ionic bond

no. they will form covalent bond
No it is not. Carbon is a covalent bond.
There is no electro negativity difference.The bond is covalent.
Sulphur and bromine generally form covalent bond and not ionic bond.
Covalent. Its on the right of the staircase.
covalent
A covalent bond. Ionic bonds form crystals, not molecules.
