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.
