Differences of polarity between different compounds (molecules) have two causes:

- differences of asymmetry between these molecules

- differences between the electronegativity of the atoms contained in the molecule

What is the polarity of sodium benzoate?

Sodium benzoate is a polar compound due to its ionic nature, with the sodium cation and the benzoate anion. Sodium benzoate dissolves well in water and other polar solvents due to its polarity.


Methanol or water which is higher polarity?

Water is higher in polarity compared to methanol because water is a polar molecule that contains polar covalent bonds due to the unequal sharing of electrons, while methanol is also polar but to a lesser extent due to the presence of a methyl group that reduces the overall polarity of the molecule.

Who created Electrical polarity?

Electrical polarity was established by Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century when he defined the concept of positive and negative charges in electricity. This laid the foundation for understanding how electricity flows in circuits and how different components interact with each other.


What type of bond results between water molecules due to water's polarity?

Hydrogen bonds result between water molecules due to water's polarity. The partially positive hydrogen atoms of one water molecule are attracted to the partially negative oxygen atom of another water molecule, creating a weak electrostatic attraction.
