Question

Determine whether each of the following bonds is polar or non-polar

1. 01-C2 Bond

2. C2-C3 Bond

3. C3-O4 Bond

Determine whether each of the following bonds is polar or non-polar 1. 01-C2 Bond 2. C2-C3 Bond 3. C3-O4 Bond A Lewis structure for Dihydroxyacetone is given below. It is an organic molecule that can be classified as both a ketone and an alcohol (or more accurately a diol). Dihydroxyacetone is the active browning agent in sunless tanning lotions, and its phosphorylated form is found in the glycolysis metabolic pathway.

Explanation / Answer

1. O1-C2 is a polar bond. C has an electronegativity of 2.5 and O of 3.5 making a difference of electronegativity of 1.

2. C2-C3 bond is non polar. Has both are C of electronegativities of 2.5, the difference in electronegativity is 0.

3. C3- O4 is polar bond. Same has bond  O1-C2.
