polar. Compare with covalent compound, ionic compound and polar bond. An asymmetric molecule containing polar bonds. H2O, NH3, and HCl are examples of polar molecules. Non-examples are CO2, CCl4, and BCl3 which contain polar bonds but are nonpolar because they have symmetric shapes. Alkanes are usually asymmetric but are nonpolar because they contain no polar bonds. Polar molecules are electric dipoles and they attract each other via dipole-dipole forces.
molecule in which one or more atoms is slightly negative, and one or more is slightly positive in such a way that the polarities do not cancel; water is a polar molecule.
Molecule in which there is a polarized distribution of positive and negative charges due to an uneven distribution of electrons. Polar molecules are likely to be soluble in water.
A molecule in which the electric charge is not distributed evenly in the covalent bonds.
a covalent molecule that ends up having a and a side as a result of polar bonds and asymmetrical shape Recall that a polar bond is a covalent bond in which the bonding electron (e - ) pair is unequally shared between the bonding atoms
a dipole - a pair of opposite charges of equal magnitude at a specific distance from each other
a molecule in which the electric charge is not distributed evenly over the molecule
a molecule that contains a slightly positively charged end and slightly negatively charged end through polar covalent bonds
a molecule that contains partial charges on either poles
a molecule that slightly contains a positively loaded end and end slightly negatively loaded through polar covalentes connections
a structure in which the net partial positive charge and the net partial negative charge in the structure will be found at different locations
a molecule that has a greater electron density at one end the other
a covalent molecule having a partial positive (+) and a partial negative (-) end.
A group of electrically joined atoms which has an irregular shape resulting in an irregular shape of outer charges. In other words it has areas which have a net positive or negative electric charge.
A molecule that has a slightly positive charge at one end and a slightly negative charge at the other. Water is a polar molecule.
a molecule in which there exists a permanent electric dipole moment by virtue of the asymmetrical distribution of positively and negatively charged regions.
a molecule that has a permanent dipole moment.
Capable of acquiring effective charge. As a consequence of the nature of binding present amongst the atoms there is an intrinsic uneven distribution of charge- one part is positively charged whilst another part is negatively charged (even in the absence of an external field). Water is a polar molecule.
Refer to polar covalent molecule.
