This document discusses polar and non-polar molecules. [1] Polar molecules have partial positive and negative charges that are separated within the molecule, such as water (H2O) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). [2] Non-polar molecules have an even distribution of electrical charges and do not have separated partial charges, examples include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and benzene (C6H6). [3] Five examples are provided for each of polar and non-polar molecules.

Polar and Non-polar
Molecules
Prepared by: Therese Anne G. Cababarros. 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. END!
