Example for polar and non polar solvent?

Answer 1

Water, H2O, is a common example of a polar molecule. The electronegativity of the oxygen is much higher than the hydrogens, so it hogs the electrons, making the side with the O have a negative charge and the side with the H's positive. O2 and Cl2 are examples of non-polar molecules. There are also molecules such as CCl4 which contain polar bonds (because the electronegativity of Cl is higher than that of C) but are non-polar molecules because the molecule is symmetrical; the polarity of the bonds cancel each other out.

Answer 2

An example of a polar solvent is water, because it has a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms, allowing it to dissolve other polar substances like salts and sugars. An example of a nonpolar solvent is hexane, which does not have an uneven distribution of charge and is capable of dissolving nonpolar compounds like oils and fats.

Answer 3

Polar : salt and/or water.

Non-polar : fat.

Answer 4

the most common polar molecule is water, a common non-polar molecule is alchohol. if one doesn't clean it up the other will.

Answer 5

Polar bond: covalent (the sharing of electrons between metals and non-metals) Non-polar molecule: fats, oils, and gasoline

Answer 6

Examples of polar solvents are methanol, ethanol, and water, while examples of non-polar solvents include pentane, hexane, benzene, toluene, and octane.

Answer 7

Methane and propane have nonpolar bonds.
