Determine is somethingis Polar or NonPolar

Question 1

Why do we care about polarity?

Answer 1

Because polarity determines solubility. Polar substances will dissolve in water (and other polar solvents). Nonpolar will not dissolve

Question 2

Are polar or nonpolar substances soluble?

Answer 2

Polar

Question 3

Examples of nonpolar solvents?

Answer 3

hexane, benzene, toluene

Question 4

Are O-H bonds polar or nonpolar?

Answer 4

polar

Question 5

the more O-H bonds a molecule has, the more polar or nonpolar it is?

Answer 5

More OH bonds, more polar the molecule

Question 6

Are C-H bonds polar or nonpolar?

Answer 6

nonpolar

Question 7

the more C-H bonds a molecule has, the more polar or nonpolar?

Answer 7

More CH bonds, more NONpolar the molecule

Question 8

truck (central atom) stuck in mud hint for determining whether a molecule is polar or not

Answer 8

draw Lewis structure, draw arrows between every atom from less electronegative to more electronegative, *IF your truck (central atom) would move in the direction of arrows it is polar and if not, it is nonpolar
