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.

For which of the following molecules would the intermolecular forces be due mainly to London forces CH3COCH3 O2 CH3OH SO3 H2S?

Ok let's look at the different molecules: 1. CH3COCH3 is acetone. The molecule is a trigonal planar around the central carbon with the electronegative oxygen pulling electron density towards itself. So this is a polar molecule. 2. O2 is non-polar and relies only on dispersion forces. 3. CH3OH is has hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole forces, and dispersion forces. 4. SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule with three oxygens around the sulfur, making it non-polar. Therefore it relies only on dispersion forces. 5. H2S is another polar molecule (bent by two lone pairs on the sulfur). So SO3 and O2 are the two molecules relying mainly on dispersion (London) forces.


Can CH3COCH3 form a hydrogen bonds?

No, acetone (CH3COCH3) cannot form hydrogen bonds with itself because it does not contain any hydrogen atoms bonded directly to highly electronegative atoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. Hydrogen bonds are formed between hydrogen atoms attached to these electronegative atoms and partially negatively charged atoms in other molecules.


What is the atomic number for CHCOCH3?

The molecular formula CH3COCH3 represents acetone. The atomic number for carbon (C) is 6, hydrogen (H) is 1, and oxygen (O) is 8. Therefore, the atomic number for CH3COCH3 is 6 (for C) + 7 (for H) + 8 (for O) = 21.
