Alcohol has one O–H bond which is polar, but a large portion of the molecule is made up of C–H bonds which are nonpolar. Alcohol molecules do not attract each other as strongly as water molecules and ...

is locked away at the centre and no matter what direction you approach the molecule from you see a \(\delta-\) charge. This means that the molecule itself is non-polar due to symmetry.

The sucrose molecule has many oxygen-hydrogen (O–H ... The alcohol has a polar area but a larger non-polar area. It is not a good dissolver of color or sugar. The oil is non-polar and does not ...

When a charged object such as a rubber balloon is brought close to a fine stream of a polar liquid, the stream is attracted toward the electrical charge. If the same charged object is brought close to ...

Sodium stearate (a white solid) is the most common type of soap. Each molecule consists of a long non-polar covalent hydrocarbon ‘tail’ and a polar, ionic ‘head’ where the charge is.
