Interpretation:
The observed polarity of Ethyl acetate has to be given from the electrostatic potential map.
Concept Introduction:
Bond polarity and Electronegativity:
Bond polarity is the extent with which the polar nature is determined by the relative electronegativities of the bonded atoms.
Electronegativity is the ability of atom in a molecule ion to attract the electrons to itself.
If the bond is non-polar then the bonded atoms has equal electronegativities.
If the electronegativities of the bonded atoms are unequal then the bond is said to be more polarized towards the more electronegative atom.
Explanation of Solution
From the given electrostatic potential diagram,
The Oxygen atom is electron rich (red colour) due to its high electronegativity.
The other atoms are electron deficient (blue colour) due to its less electronegative nature.
The observed polarity of Ethyl acetate was given from the electrostatic potential map.

- Alcohols A, B, and C all have the composition C4H10O. Molecules of alcohol A contain a branched carbon chain and can be oxidized to an aldehyde; molecules of alcohol B contain a linear carbon chain and can be oxidizedto a ketone; and molecules of alcohol C can be oxidized to neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. Write the Lewis structures of these molecules.arrow_forward11. Which statement is true of the carbon-carbon bonds in benzene? (a) They are identical to the carbon-carbon bonds in cyclohexane. (b) They are identical to the carbon-carbon bonds in cyclohexene. (c) They are half-way between a double and single bond. (d) They are easily broken in chemical reactions. (e) They are all double bonds. ct Copyright O 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited Name: Class:arrow_forwardDraw Lewis structures and condensed structural formulas for the four alcohols with the molecular formula C4H10O. Classify each alcohol as primary, secondary, or tertiary. (Hint: First consider the connectivity of the four carbon atoms; they can be bonded either four in a chain or three in a chain with the fourth carbon as a branch on the middle carbon. Then consider the points at which the iOH group can be bonded to each carbon chain.)arrow_forward
