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-.

∙ 9y agoKOH 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.

∙ 13y agoThe 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.

Is KOH ionic or molecular compound?
its ionic, its cation(first letter) is a metal making it ionic
What is the formula for the ionic compound from potassium hydroxide?
K+ and OH- is KOH -----------
Are acids polar or non-polar?
they are polar due to the difference in electronegativity. For example HCl. Cl has a higher electronegativity then hydrogen. Another example is KOH. The OH has less electronegativity then the potassium. So therefore they are all polar.
How many moles are in 234.1 grams of KOH?
Molar mass of KOH = 39.1+16.0+1.0 = 56.1Amount of KOH = mass of sample / molar mass = 32/56.1 = 0.570mol
Where is Koh Samui?
Koh Samui is in Thailand
Do KOH when dissolved in water conduct electricity?
Yes, because KOH is highly ionic in nature and water being polar in nature is a very good solvent for KOH and forms a solution. The reaction is heat generating and called Exothermic Reaction.
What is the differences between polar and non polar substances?
Polar molecules have a net (= overall) charge on them. On the other hand, nonpolar molecules have no net charge. water. For example, when KOH is dissolved in water, it will break up into K+ and OH- ions. Thus, it's polar! Also, a small rule of thumb (mostly, but doesn't ALWAYS work) is that when you look at the correct structure of a molecule, if it has symmetry, then it's nonpolar (ie. hydrocarbons). Whereas nonsymmetric molecules are polar (ie. KOH). Polar bond is also a bond resulting from the not sharing of the electrons.
