If you mean "what type of bonding is present in urea?" then the general answer is covalent bonds. The carbon is sp2-hybridized. The C=O bond is a double bond (a carbonyl group) while the C-N bonds are single but have significant double bond character leading to a planar (flat) structure. The C-H bonds are single bonds. In terms of intramolecular bonding, there are hydrogen bonds between urea molecules (each carbonyl oxygen accepts 4, from N-H hydrogens). This leads the urea's high solubility in water.

What is urea's molecular polarity?

Urea's polar because the bond moment is not null. another reason is cause the oxygen is more electronegative than amine bond (nitrogen and hydrogen)


What are the bond angles of urea?

Urea is sp2 hybridized, so the bond angles are ~120 degrees.


Does urea contain polar bonds?

The structure of urea determines its polarity. The C=O portion of the molecule is polar, as well as the two N-H bonds on the opposite end. Therefore urea is a polar molecule. Refer to the related links for an illustration.


Is urea soluble in ethanol?

Yes, urea is soluble in ethanol. Urea is a polar compound that forms hydrogen bonds with the polar solvent ethanol, which allows it to dissolve in ethanol.


Why urea and sugar are polar?

Urea and sugar are polar molecules because they contain polar covalent bonds due to differences in electronegativity between the atoms involved. This creates regions of partial positive and negative charges within the molecules, making them polar. This polarity allows them to readily interact with water and other polar substances.


How does a polar covalent bond differ from a covalent bond?

Electrons are shared unequally in a polar bond.


Is urea soluble in chloroform?

Yes, urea is soluble in chloroform because it is a polar compound and chloroform is a nonpolar solvent. Polar compounds are generally soluble in nonpolar solvents like chloroform.


Does hydrochloric acid contain a non-polar covalent bond?

HCl (hydrogen chloride) has a covalent bond, polar.


Does N2 contains a polar covalent bond?

No. It contains non-polar covalent bond.


Is polar bond stronger than non polar bond?

metal will conduct elecricity


Does HF have a polar covalent bond?

yes it is a polar covalent bond. the difference of electronegativities of H and F is 1.9 , it should be an ionic bond but the ratio of atomic sizes of both the atoms is responsible for polar covalent bond.


If atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons the bond is called?

If atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons, the bond is called a polar covalent bond. This occurs when one atom has a higher electronegativity than the other, leading to an uneven distribution of electrons in the bond.
