Is KOH polar

Answer 1

Yes, potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a polar compound. This is because the potassium ion (K+) and hydroxide ion (OH-) in KOH have different electronegativities, resulting in an uneven distribution of electron density within the molecule. As a result, there is a separation of charges, making KOH a polar molecule.

Answer 2

Yes, NaOH has a net dipole moment towards the oxygen which gives it its polarity. (This can be verified by comparing electronegativity's). Also, in aqueous solution, it will commonly dissociate into its composite ions Na+ and OH-.

Answer 3

KOH is polar. This is because K is positive and OH is negative. In other words, the electrons are not shared equally among the molecules as in the case of non-polar.

Answer 4

Yes, potassium hydroxide is polar. It is an inorganic compound and can form strong alkaline solutions in water and other polar solvents.

Answer 5

no, ionic, K's electronegativity=.8 Cl electronegativity+=3.2, 3.2-.8=2.4

Answer 6

The molecule KNO3 is ionic. Its intramolecular bonds however, are polar. That means that the bond between K+ and NO3- is shared unequally.

It is non-polar.

Answer 7

KBr stands for the potassium bromide. Potassium bromide is polar. It is also soluble in water and classified as ionic.

Answer 8

Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is a compound which has an ionic bond, and as such, is polar.

Answer 9

Yes, KOH (potassium hydroxide) is polar because it has an uneven distribution of electrons, creating positive and negative poles. This polarity allows KOH to dissolve in polar solvents like water.
