Chapter 8, Problem 42Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins are polar molecules or not has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The polar molecules possess charge separation in them. The charge separation arises due to the difference in the electronegativities between the atoms in a molecule. So, polar molecules possess a permanent dipole moment in them. There won’t be electronegativity difference between the atoms in non-polar molecules. Hence charge separation does not arise in the non-polar molecules. So, non-polar molecules do not possess dipole moment in them.
