Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The explanation for the polar nature of dimethyl ether
Concept introduction:
Polarity of any individual bond is determined by the electro-negativities of the atoms forming a bond. Any covalent bond is non-polar when two identical atoms or of similar electro-negativity are bonded together.
