For decades, scientists who study aging have proposed swapping what they call functional age for chronological age as a way out of the age-time quandary. Weâve also thought about asking people to tell us how old they âfeel,â or their subjective age.
organic compounds are basically composed of carbon atoms.polar organic compounds are those compounds in which the organic compounds have the properties of polar compounds. 1 person found this useful.
polar, nonpolar, you've spotted those adequately. The thing to remember now is that molecules don't know they're polar or nonpolar, those are just names we come up with to describe our observations. In the case of ethanol, it has a polar bit and a non polar bit- the 'anol' vs the 'eth'. In this molecule, the carbon end is nonpolar enough to drag the polar end into the tolune, and vice versa, the polar end is polar enough as to drag the nonpolar end into water, which is why alcohol mixes with water.
