Ethyl phenyl ether, also known as phenetole, is a relatively non-polar compound. Its molecular structure features an ether functional group, which has some polar characteristics, but the presence of the ethyl and phenyl groups tends to dominate and contribute to its overall non-polar nature. As a result, it has low solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents.

What is more polar either ethyl acetate or pet ether?

Ethylacetate is more polar. IT has a carbonyl group, which means the more electronegative Oxygen is drawing electron density towards oxygen, hence leaves the carbonyl carbon to be delta positive, hence there is polarity between those atoms of the molecule, then there is the ethyl group attached to this same carbonyl carbon, which although there is a degree of induction due to the CH2CH3 somewhat pushing towards the the carbonyl carbon, yet again the oxygen attached draws more density away, than the ethyl aspect pushing in, hence on both fronts, the molecule is polar. NOW in comparison to petroleum ether, well, petroleum ether, is usually short chained alkanes, either pentane, hexane, and is a fraction of refined oil. THE UPPER LIGHTER FRACTION, and not to be compared to say an actual ether, such as diethyl ether. So on that basis, pet ether is non polar. NOW if you meant diethyl ether. ETHYL ACETATE is still more polar, as the ether has one oxygen between methylene groups, or perhaps two methyl groups. and yes, there is an electronegative difference between that oxygen and the carbon next to it, but an ether is flanked by two carbon groups, hence the polarity of the molecule is minimized.


Is ethyl acetate or diethyl ether is same?

No, ethyl acetate and diethyl ether are not the same. Ethyl acetate is an ester commonly used as a solvent, while diethyl ether is an ether used as a solvent and a reagent in chemical reactions. They have different chemical structures and properties.

Is benzene or ethyl ether highly volatile?

Ethyl ether is more volatile than benzene. Ethyl ether has a lower boiling point and vapor pressure, making it easier for it to evaporate rapidly. Benzene is less volatile compared to ethyl ether due to its higher boiling point and lower vapor pressure.

Is dimethyl ether polar or nonpolar?

DME (DiMethyl Ether) is rather unpolar because it is symmetrical (+-+), it has a bended or hooked (V-like) structure (about 120o corner) with 'longer, more spread legs' than water (104.5o). It is more polar than di-Ethyl ether however.
