Is titanium polar or non-polar?

Titanium is a metal and does not have a polar or non-polar nature like molecules do. It has metallic bonding, which is a type of bonding found in metals.


Why ethanol called universal solvent?

Ethanol is a universal solvent as it contains both polar nature (OH) ion and the ethyl group which is a non polar substance. As a result it means that both polar nature molecules and non polar nature molecules can bond with ethanol which can as well form hydrogen bonding amongst substances.


What is the nature of the bond in CHCl3 and how does it contribute to the overall structure and properties of the molecule?

The bond in CHCl3 is a covalent bond, where atoms share electrons. This bond contributes to the molecule's tetrahedral shape and polar nature. The polar bonds create a dipole moment, making CHCl3 a polar molecule with some degree of solubility in polar solvents.


What is a polar bond but isn't a polar molecule?

A polar bond is a covalent bond where the electrons are unequally shared between atoms, creating a separation of charges. However, if the molecule's geometry results in the symmetric distribution of these polar bonds, the overall molecule might not exhibit a net dipole moment, making it nonpolar.


One reason that water is an effective solvent is that it?

Water is a solvent because of its polar nature. As like dissolves like, many other polar substances also dissollve in water.. ALso water has an ability to form hydrogen bonds which is also responsible for its solubilising action to an extent.
