what do you mean by polarity of components?

Answer 1

polarity refers to when the electrons in a covalent bond are unevenly distributed between the atoms contained in the molecule. this comes about from a difference in electronegativity, which is an atoms ability to pull a pair of electrons towards itself. for instance, in water, the oxygen has a much higher 'influence' on the electrons that it is bonded to the hydrogens with, and so it becomes slightly (delta) negative, as it has gained electrons. the hydrogens become slighty(delta) positive, as they have temporarily lost electrons. fluorine is the most electronegative element, and so components containing fluorine are most likely to be polar.

Answer 2

Polarity may refer to:
Polarity in international relations, describing the distribution of international power
Polarity, a calculus of physical alignment of atoms
Polarity, a concept in proof theory
Polarity, a magnetic, three dimensional, black and white game. Invented by Douglas Seaton. 1985.
Chemical polarity, a concept in chemistry dealing with the sharing of electrons between atoms.
Orthogonal polarity, a concept in algebraic geometry.
Polarization, a property of light and other electromagnetic waves
Polarization (electrostatics), the vector field that results from permanent or induced electric dipole moments in a dielectric material
In cell biology, cells not being point-symmetrical in their spatial organization. This is particularly evident for cells organized in single cell layers that separate organs or subcompartments in organisms.
In horticulture, the condition in which cuttings grow shoots at the distil end (end of cutting nearest the tip of plant) and roots at the proximal end (end of cutting nearest the plant crown). A cutting could therefore be planted with correct or incorrect polarity.
Polarity therapy, an alternative medicine system

Answer 3

A component is polar if one part has a slight positive charge and the other an equal nagative charge

eX water H2O Oxygene has a partial negative charge whereas the hydrogens have a positive

in an opposite wat, molecule H2 is non polar since both atoms H are the same

Answer 4

In the case of polar molecule the electron pair is not equally shared. The more electronegative atom pulls the electronic pair towards itself causing the separation of charges. Thus there is formation of permanent dipole moment in the molecule. The molecules having permanent dipole moment are called polar molecules.The extent of polarity is expressed in terms of dipole moment. Dipole moment is the product of magnitude of charges and distance between them.

Answer 5

In Chemistry, compounds can be classified into two main groups as Inorganic and Organic. Most Inorganic compounds are Ionic in nature, dissociate in water to give ions. Ions are charged particles. This is one of the important parameter to term it as polar.
Most Organic compounds do not dissociate into Ions as does the large number of Inorganic compound. Organic compounds are composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and other elements like Oxygen, Halogens, Nitrogen, and many more. Distribution of electron density on these elements is different in different conditions. Unequal distribution of electron density is responsible for polarity in these compounds. In short polarity results from uneven electron density in the molecule. It comes about from a difference in electronegativity, which is an atoms ability to pull a pair of electrons towards itself. For example, in Organic acids and alcohols, the - OH group has a much higher 'influence' on the electrons compared to Hydrocarbon part of the compound, and so it becomes slightly (delta) negative, as it has gained some more electrons. the hydrocarbon part become slightly(delta) positive, as they have temporarily lost electrons.

Answer 6

Polarity of components generally reflects the acidic or basic nature of a compound. If a compound is having -ve polarity the compound is basic in nature and if the compound is having +ve polarity the compound is acidic in nature.

Answer 7

polar nature means ionic character in bonding of compouds
its is characterized by dipole moment of any compound..............
