Polar and Non-polar

Molecules

POLAR

A polar molecule is a molecule in which one end


of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other
end is slightly negative. A diatomic molecule that
consists of a polar covalent bond, such as HF, is a
polar molecule.
5 examples of Polar molecule
• Water - H2O

Water (chemical formula: H2O) is a transparent


fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes,
oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of
the fluids of organisms. As a chemical compound,
a water molecule contains one oxygen and two
hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent
bonds.
•Sulfur Dioxide - SO2
Sulfur dioxide (chemical compound with
the formula SO2.) It is a toxic gas
responsible for the smell of burnt matches.
It is released naturally by volcanic activity
and is produced as a by-product of copper
extraction and the burning of fossil fuels
contaminated with sulfur compounds.
Sulfur dioxide has a pungent smell like
nitric acid
•Hydrogen Sulfide - H2S
Hydrogen sulfide (Molecular Formula:
H2S) is a colorless, flammable, extremely
hazardous gas with a “rot- ten egg” smell.
Some common names for the gas include
sewer gas, stink damp, swamp gas and
manure gas. It occurs naturally in crude
petroleum, natural gas, and hot springs.
•Carbon monoxide - CO

Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a


colorless, odorless, and tasteless flammable gas
that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to
animals that use hemoglobin as an oxygen
carrier when encountered in concentrations
above about 35 ppm causing carbon monoxide
poisoning.
•Ozone - O3

Ozone (chemical formula O3) is a vapor or


vapor with the chemical composition O. It
has three oxygen atoms. Unlike O₂, its suob
is toxic to organisms.
Non Polar
A nonpolar molecule has no separation of
charge, so no positive or negative poles are
formed. In other words, the electrical charges
of nonpolar molecules are evenly distributed
across the molecule. Nonpolar molecules
tend to dissolve well in nonpolar solvents,
which are frequently organic solvents.
5 Examples of Non Polar
•Carbon Dioxide - CO2

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2)


is a colorless gas with a density about
53% higher than that of dry air. Carbon
dioxide molecules consist of a carbon
atom covalently double bonded to two
oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally in
Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas.
•Benzene - C6H6

Benzene (chemical formula C6H6),


simplest organic, aromatic
hydrocarbon and parent compound of
numerous important aromatic
compounds.
•Methane - CH4

Methane (chemical compound with the


chemical formula CH4) It is a group-14
hydride and the simplest alkane, and is the
main constituent of natural gas.
•Ethylene - C2H4
Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a
hydrocarbon which has the (formula C2H4
or H2C=CH2). It is a colorless flammable
gas with a faint "sweet and musky" odour
when pure
•Carbon Tetrachloride -
CCI4

Carbon tetrachloride (chemical formula CCl4)


binds to triacylglycerols and phospholipids
throughout subcellular fractions and causes lipid
peroxidation in the liver parenchymal cells.
