Question

ethanol is the alcohol in alcoholic beverages, its lewis structure is shown below: is ethanol a polar or a nonpolar molecule, and would it have a molecular dipole moment? (dont try to draw the molecular dipole moment in this case) has a molecular dipole moment and it is nonpolar has a molecular dipole moment and it is polar has no molecular dipole moment and it is nonpolar has no molecular dipole moment and it is polar dont test me yet, i am trying to gain an understanding before attempting to answer this question. multiple choice 1 point

Explanation:

Ethanol has a polar - OH group due to the electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. This creates a molecular dipole moment, making ethanol a polar molecule.

Answer:

has a molecular dipole moment and it is polar
