  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    These effects add as vectors to make the overall molecule polar. A polar molecule has a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges (i.e. having partial positive and partial negative charges) from polar bonds arranged asymmetrically. Water (H 2 O) is an example of a polar molecule since it has a slight positive charge on one side and a ...

  3. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Another consequence of its structure is that water is a polar molecule. Due to the difference in electronegativity, a bond dipole moment points from each H to the O, making the oxygen partially negative and each hydrogen partially positive. A large molecular dipole, points from a region between the two hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom. The ...

  4. Solvent effects - Wikipedia

    Note the decrease in ΔG ‡ activation for the polar-solvent reaction conditions. This arises from the fact that polar solvents stabilize the formation of the carbocation intermediate to a greater extent than the non-polar-solvent conditions. This is apparent in the ΔE a, ΔΔG ‡ activation. On the right is an S N 2 reaction coordinate diagram.

  5. Cell polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_polarity

    Many of the key molecular players implicated in cell polarity are well conserved. For example, in metazoan cells, the PAR-3/PAR-6/aPKC complex plays a fundamental role in cell polarity. While the biochemical details may vary, some of the core principles such as negative and/or positive feedback between different molecules are common and ...

  6. Electronic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_effect

    In organic chemistry, the term stereoelectronic effect is also used to emphasize the relation between the electronic structure and the geometry (stereochemistry) of a molecule. The term polar effect is sometimes used to refer to electronic effects, but also may have the more narrow definition of effects resulting from non-conjugated substituents.

  7. Water - Wikipedia

    Along with the bent structure, this gives the molecule an electrical dipole moment and it is classified as a polar molecule. [ 94 ] Water is a good polar solvent , dissolving many salts and hydrophilic organic molecules such as sugars and simple alcohols such as ethanol .

  8. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    Polarizability and molecular property are related to refractive index and bulk property. In crystalline structures, the interactions between molecules are considered by comparing a local field to the macroscopic field. Analyzing a cubic crystal lattice, we can imagine an isotropic spherical region to represent the entire sample.

  9. Polar surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_surface_area

    Electrical potential surface of paracetamol showing polar areas in red and blue. The polar surface area (PSA) or topological polar surface area (TPSA) of a molecule is defined as the surface sum over all polar atoms or molecules, primarily oxygen and nitrogen, also including their attached hydrogen atoms.
