Polar & Non-Polar Molecules: Crash Course Chemistry #23
PLEASE WATCH WITH ANNOTATIONS ON! SOME INACCURACIES IN GRAPHICS ARE NOTED AND CORRECTED IN ANNOTATIONS. THANKS!
==========
Molecules! So many of them in their infinite and beautiful variety, but while that variety is great, it can also be pretty dang overwhelming. And so, in order to help this complicated chemical world make a little more sense, we classify and we categorize. It's our nature as humans, and it's extremely useful. One of the most important of those classifications is whether a molecule is polar or non-polar. It's a kind of symmetry, not just of the molecule, but of the charge. It's pretty easy to see when you're just lookin' at 'em. You got polar and non-polar, polar, non-polar, polar, non-polar. I'm gonna take sides right now. I'm on team polar. I think polar molecules are way more interesting, despite their wonky, off-balance selves. Non-polar molecules are useful, and their symmetry has a kind of beauty,...
