The carbonyl group, characterized by a double bond between a carbon and an oxygen atom, is the central functional unit in organic chemistry. Due to their natural polarity—where the carbon ...

A substance that contains polar covalent bonds may not be overall polar. This is due to the shape of the molecule. Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are ...

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 ...
