  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Nonpolar bonds generally occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is less than 0.5; Polar bonds generally occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is roughly between 0.5 and 2.0; Ionic bonds generally occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is greater than 2.0

  3. Acetyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetyl_group

    The carbonyl center of an acyl radical has one non-bonded electron with which it forms a chemical bond to the remainder (denoted with the letter R) of the molecule. The acetyl moiety is a component of many organic compounds , including acetic acid , the neurotransmitter acetylcholine , acetyl-CoA , acetylcysteine , acetaminophen (also known as ...

  4. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    The polar water molecules surround themselves around ions in water and the energy released during the process is known as hydration enthalpy. The interaction has its immense importance in justifying the stability of various ions (like Cu 2+) in water. An ion–induced dipole force consists of an ion and a non-polar molecule interacting.

  5. Ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol

    It is considered a universal solvent, as its molecular structure allows for the dissolving of both polar, hydrophilic and nonpolar, hydrophobic compounds. As ethanol also has a low boiling point, it is easy to remove from a solution that has been used to dissolve other compounds, making it a popular extracting agent for botanical oils.

  6. Methyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group

    It is a very stable group in most molecules. While the methyl group is usually part of a larger molecule, bonded to the rest of the molecule by a single covalent bond (−CH 3), it can be found on its own in any of three forms: methanide anion (CH − 3), methylium cation (CH + 3) or methyl radical (CH • 3).

  7. Carbon–nitrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–nitrogen_bond

    A carbon–nitrogen bond is a covalent bond between carbon and nitrogen and is one of the most abundant bonds in organic chemistry and biochemistry. [ 1 ] Nitrogen has five valence electrons and in simple amines it is trivalent , with the two remaining electrons forming a lone pair .

  9. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    In general, the hydroxyl group makes alcohols polar. Those groups can form hydrogen bonds to one another and to most other compounds. Owing to the presence of the polar OH alcohols are more water-soluble than simple hydrocarbons. Methanol, ethanol, and propanol are miscible in water. 1-Butanol, with a four-carbon chain, is moderately soluble.
