Is lactic acid a polar or nonpolar molecule?

Lactic acid is a polar molecule. It contains both polar (-OH) and nonpolar (CH3) groups, but the presence of the polar -OH groups makes it an overall polar molecule.


Is CH3- polar?

No, CH3CH3, or ethane, is not polar. It is considered nonpolar because it does not have strongly charged negative or positive hydrogen or carbon atoms.


Is CH3 hydrophobic?

methyl is hydrophobic because it is non polar. the c-h bonds have little electronegativity difference I believe. water is polar, and nonpolar things don't tend to react or dissolve in polar substances.


Is CH3CN non polar?

No, CH3CN (acetonitrile) is a polar molecule. The carbon-nitrogen bond is polar due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and nitrogen. This creates a slight positive charge on carbon and a slight negative charge on nitrogen, resulting in a polar molecule.


Is n-pentane polar or nonpolar?

n-Pentane is considered nonpolar because it contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together with nonpolar covalent bonds. The symmetrical arrangement of these atoms results in a molecule with no overall dipole moment.


C6H6 C2H5OH CH3CH2CH2OH CH3-O-CH3 Which compound has more repulsion with water and why?

C6H6 will be repelled the most. C2H5OH and CH3CH2CH2OH are both alcohols, both are polar molecules and will easily dissolve in water.CH3OCH3 is dimethyl ether and will repel water, though it is slightly polar.C6H6 or benzene will be repelled by water the most, as benzene is non polar and water is polar.


Ethanol is a chemical compound with the formula C2H5OH. The end with the -CH3 group is nonpolar while the end with the -OH group is polar. This means that ethanol is able to dissolve?

Yes, ethanol is a solvent.


Is CH3-CH2-CHO soluble in water?

I would replace that word 'most' with 'totally' ... ethanol and water mix in all proportions.


Is ethene polar?

As ethene is symmitrical molecule and have carbon atoms involved in double bond, therefore it is non polar.


What is the R group found in alanine?

The R group in alanine is a simple methyl group (CH3). This nonpolar, hydrophobic side chain is small and uncharged, making alanine a neutral, aliphatic amino acid.


Is methol hydrate nonpolar?

== == Extremely polar. However, you should probably determine the Lewis structure of methanol (CH3-OH), and then review what makes a molecule polar before you leave it up to people on the internet. You'll learn a lot more efficiently. This website shows the structure of methanol: http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/162othermolecules.html


Is CH3-CO-CH3 polar?

It is polar. The oxygen has 4 electron domains. 2 are occupied by a molecule of different electronegativity, and 2 are only occupied by electrons. (another molecule that has this similar is H2O witch is polar) CH3OCH3 is shaped with the Carbons and Hydrogens at one side, oxygen in the middle, and electrons on the other side. this causes the molecule to be polar.
