From most polar to least:Caffeine, Acetaminophen, Aspirin
Caffeine is more soluble in methylene chloride than in acetone. Methylene chloride is a non-polar solvent, while caffeine is a polar compound. Polar compounds like caffeine tend to be more soluble in non-polar solvents like methylene chloride.
H2O is a polar molecule; +H3O is even more so.
To determine which molecule is the most polar, compare the electronegativity difference between the atoms in each molecule. The greater the electronegativity difference, the more polar the molecule. Additionally, look at the molecular geometry and symmetry of the molecule, as asymmetrical molecules tend to be more polar.
Resorcinol is more acidic than catechol. This is because resorcinol has three -OH groups that are more acidic than the two -OH groups in catechol.
always polar
A dipole-dipole interaction is more likely to occur in a polar molecule rather than a nonpolar molecule.
A hydrophobic molecule is more likely to be nonpolar.
No, a polar molecule is not an ion. A polar molecule occurs when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms within the molecule, creating a partial positive and partial negative charge. An ion, on the other hand, is a charged particle that has gained or lost one or more electrons.
Caffeine is more miscible in the organic layer (dichloromethane) than in the aqueous layer. This is because caffeine is a non-polar compound and thus dissolves better in organic solvents than in water, which is a polar solvent.
First of all you have to draw the Lewis dot structure of the molecule. If the molecule is symmetrical, it's non-polar. If the molecule is non-symmetrical or asymmetrical, then the molecule is polar.
A polar molecule is more likely to be hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water, rather than hydrophobic, which repels water.
