1.	What are polar and non polar solvents ?explain with example.
Answer» \tMolecules in which dipole moment is not ‘zero’ are called polar solvents. Example: NaCl, HF, H2O…etc. The non-zero dipole moment in these molecules is mainly due to electronegativity difference between bonding atoms.\tMolecules in which dipole moment is ‘zero’ are called non-polar solvents. Example: CCl4, H2, Cl2, O2…etc. In non-polar molecules the dipole moment is zero due nearly equal in electronegativity of bonding atoms and also due to symmetry in structure.
