Alcohol has one O–H bond which is polar, but a large portion of the molecule is made up of C–H bonds which are nonpolar. Alcohol molecules do not attract each other as strongly as water molecules and ...

If the same charged object is brought close to a stream of a nonpolar liquid, the stream flow remains unaffected. You can draw the structural formula for water and hexane or build models of these ...
