Is ethyl alcohol a polar or non polar?

Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is a polar molecule. This is because ethanol contains a polar hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which creates an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule, leading to positive and negative regions.


Methyl alcohol ionic polar or non polar?

Methyl alcohol, also known as methanol, is a polar molecule. It has a partial positive charge on the carbon atom and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom due to differences in electronegativity, making it polar.

Is acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin non-polar polar or ionic?

aspirin is non-polar, although it does have one alcohol group. The molecule is still considered non-polar due to the larger section of non-polarity. it will have a slight dipole, but probably not enough to hydrogen bond.
