  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also known as the H-bond.

  3. Propionaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propionaldehyde

    Propionaldehyde along with acrolein has been detected in the molecular cloud Sagittarius B2 near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, about 26,000 light years from Earth. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Measurements by the COSAC and Ptolemy instruments on comet 67/P 's surface, revealed sixteen organic compounds , four of which were seen for the first time on ...

  4. Non-covalent interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-covalent_interaction

    A dipole-induced dipole interaction (Debye force) is due to the approach of a molecule with a permanent dipole to another non-polar molecule with no permanent dipole. This approach causes the electrons of the non-polar molecule to be polarized toward or away from the dipole (or "induce" a dipole) of the approaching molecule. [13]

  5. Isopropyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_alcohol

    Isopropyl alcohol (IUPAC name propan-2-ol and also called isopropanol or 2-propanol) is a colorless, flammable, organic compound with a pungent alcoholic odor. [9]Isopropyl alcohol, an organic polar molecule, is miscible in water, ethanol, and chloroform, demonstrating its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances including ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, oils, alkaloids, and natural ...

  6. Polar aprotic solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_aprotic_solvent

    A polar aprotic solvent is a solvent that lacks an acidic proton and is polar. Such solvents lack hydroxyl and amine groups. In contrast to protic solvents, these solvents do not serve as proton donors in hydrogen bonding, although they can be proton acceptors. Many solvents, including chlorocarbons and hydrocarbons, are classifiable as aprotic ...

  7. Propylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol

    Propylene glycol (IUPAC name: propane-1,2-diol) is a viscous, colorless liquid.It is almost odorless and has a faintly sweet taste. Its chemical formula is CH 3 CH(OH)CH 2 OH. . As it contains two alcohol groups, it is classified as a d

  8. 1-Propanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Propanol

    1-Propanol (also propan-1-ol, propanol, n-propyl alcohol) is a primary alcohol with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH and sometimes represented as PrOH or n-PrOH.It is a colourless liquid and an isomer of 2-propanol. 1-Propanol is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly for resins and cellulose esters, and, sometimes, as a disinfecting agent.

  9. Carbon–oxygen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–oxygen_bond

    The C–O bond is polarized towards oxygen (electronegativity of C vs O, 2.55 vs 3.44). Bond lengths [4] for paraffinic C–O bonds are in the range of 143 pm – less than those of C–N or C–C bonds. Shortened single bonds are found with carboxylic acids (136 pm) due to partial double bond character and elongated bonds are found in epoxides ...
