Do Now Using what you know about polar bonds, identify the following molecules as mostly polar or mostly non-polar.
Aim How does molecular geometry affect polarity?
Solubility as a Test for Polarity Water and Oil Insoluble Water and CTC Insoluble Water and Ether Insoluble CTC and Ether Soluble
Why isn’t CTC polar?
Why isn’t CTC polar? Polar molecules must be
