Finding liquid substances polar and nonpolar?
C3H5(OH3) (glycerol). Thanks for your help guys!
P.S. I understand how to find the electronegativity difference between elements, just not mixtures.
Answer:
a polar substance in definition means that there is a difference in charge between any end and its oppositte end( like right and left or up and down).
but for u to understand it means that molecule is charged( but take notice that not all charged molecules are polar)
so for ur question glycerol is polar and toluene is non polar,
because O is farly more elctronegative than any other atom in the molecule so it attracts electrons more so it has a partly negative charge.
while toluene is not charged since electornegativity bet C and H are very similar so its almost a negligible effect.
a molecule is more polar if it is more highly charged( or in other words with a higher charge density). so u can find it out by looking at how many electonegative atoms in the molecule and the strength of each and figure is out.
