Polar

VSEPR Theory dictates that H2O is a "bent" molecule. Since the electronegativity of O is greater than H, the electron density of H2O is greater towards Oxygen. Thus, from both differences in electronegativity and the shape of the molecule, H2O is polar with a slight negative charge on O and a slight positive charge on the 2 H's.

Which molecules have polarity?

Every molecule has a polarity. They can either be non-polar (same on both sides) or polar (different on both sides). For example the molecule CO2 is a non-polar molecule. H20 (water) is a polar molecule (due to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory (VSEPR)).


Is this covalent compound soluble in water C2 H6?

C2H6 is the hydrocarbon ethane, and it has very low solubility in water. Most hyrdocarbons are like this. They're non-polar and so can't associate with the highly polar ends of the H20 molecules. Ethane would be soluble in a non-polar solvent such as benzene (C6H6).


Are ch3ch2ch2ch2ch3 and ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3 miscible Are CBr4 and H20 miscible Are cl2 and H20 miscible?

Yes, both ch3ch2ch2ch2ch3 and ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3 are miscible since they are both alkanes with similar intermolecular forces. CBr4 and H2O are immiscible because CBr4 is nonpolar while H2O is polar, resulting in different intermolecular forces that prevent them from mixing. Cl2 and H2O are immiscible because Cl2 is a nonpolar molecule while H2O is polar, leading to differences in intermolecular forces that hinder their ability to mix.
