Is it nonpolar or non-polar?

Although there are no hard and fast rules, the general rule is if the difference in electronegativities is less than about 0.4, the bond is considered nonpolar; if the difference is greater than 0.4, the bond is considered polar.

What is an example of non-polar?

Nonpolar Molecule Examples Examples of homonuclear nonpolar molecules are oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), and ozone (O3). Other nonpolar molecules include carbon dioxide (CO2) and the organic molecules methane (CH4), toluene, and gasoline. Most carbon compounds are nonpolar.

What elements are non-polar?

Nonpolar Molecules

  • Any of the noble gasses: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe (These are atoms, not technically molecules.)
  • Any of the homonuclear diatomic elements: H2, N2, O2, Cl2 (These are truly nonpolar molecules.)
  • Carbon dioxide – CO.
  • Benzene – C6H.
  • Carbon tetrachloride – CCl.
  • Methane – CH.
  • Ethylene – C2H.

Is citric acid soluble or insoluble?

Citric acid/Soluble in
Solubility: soluble in Water (1174g/L at 10°C, 1809g/L at 30°C, 3825g/L at 80°C). Citric acid also dissolves in absolute (anhydrous) ethanol (76 parts of citric acid per 100 parts of ethanol) at 15 °C.

Is citric acid hygroscopic?

Citric acid is hygroscopic, meaning that humidity and temperature may impact its flow. Citric acid can be both abrasive and corrosive, so care must be taken to use equipment that can withstand prolonged exposure to this material.

Is citric acid reactive?

CITRIC ACID reacts with oxidizing agents, bases, reducing agents and metal nitrates (NTP, 1992). Reactions with metal nitrates are potentially explosive. Heating to the point of decomposition causes emission of acrid smoke and fumes [Lewis].
