Is formaldehyde polar or non polar?

Answer 1

Polar and highly eletrophylic observe the 4 free electrons hanging from it's bottom ballanced by happy hydrogens. http://www.chem.uwec.edu/Chem150_S07/elaborations/unit1/unit1-e-polarity/unit1-e-try-this-answer.html

Answer 2

Formaldehyde is polar due to the asymmetrical distribution of charge caused by the oxygen atom pulling electron density towards itself more than the carbon and hydrogen atoms. This creates a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom and slight positive charges on the carbon and hydrogen atoms, making formaldehyde a polar molecule.

Answer 3

Formaldehyde is a polar molecule, because it has permanent dipoles

Answer 4

it is polar in nature...its said to be the most polar solvent
