What does polar and nonpolar mean in science

2 answers:

6 0

Polarity refers to the pull of electrons. Some elements like Fluorine and Oxygen pull electrons closer to them in their bonds (electronegativity), meaning they don't share them equally. So if they pull them closer, there is polarity in the molecule because there's a pull of electrons between atoms.

Polar molecules are molecules are essentially have no molecular symmetry.

Nonpolar molecules are molecules that have molecular symmetry.

Water is a very basic example of a polar molecule.

Please help me with this basic organic conversion.<br>use the shortest way to do it

jonny [76]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

This conversion must go through a sequence of steps as i have shown in the image attached to this answer.

The acetone is converted to propan-2-ol using LiAlH4, THF and acid. The propan-2-ol may be converted to propene by E2 elimination. Addition of HBr yields 2-bromo propane.

The Wurtz reaction converts 2-bromo propane to 2,3- dimethyl butane. This can be brominated in the presence of light to yield 3-bromo-2,3-dimethyl butane. Elimination of HBr using a base leads to the formation of the required product as shown.
