Is Sodium hydroxide polar?

Yes, sodium hydroxide is a polar molecule. It is composed of a sodium cation (Na+) and a hydroxide anion (OH-), which results in an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule. This causes sodium hydroxide to have a partial positive charge on the sodium atom and a partial negative charge on the hydroxide ion, making it polar.
