Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The shape around the carbon in ethanol along with it is polar or non-polar is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The polar bond is formed between the two unlike atoms having electronegative difference ranges from 0.5-1.9. The polar bond represents the arrow towards the high electronegative element, while the tail towards the low electronegative element. The negative sign is given to the high electronegative element while a positive sign is given to the low electronegative element.
(b)
Interpretation:
The shape around the carbon in acetaldehyde along with it is polar or non-polar is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The polar bond is formed between the two unlike atoms having electronegative difference ranges from 0.5-1.9. The polar bond represents the arrow towards the high electronegative element, while the tail towards the low electronegative element. The negative sign is given to the high electronegative element while a positive sign is given to the low electronegative element.
