Polaritätstragende
Polaritätstragende refers to a property within chemistry where a molecule or a functional group possesses a significant electric dipole moment. This means that the distribution of electron density within the molecule is uneven, leading to a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other. This inherent polarity arises from differences in electronegativity between atoms within a bond or molecular structure.
Molecules that are polaritätstragende exhibit distinct behaviors. They tend to dissolve well in other polar solvents,
The presence of polarity also influences a molecule's physical properties such as boiling point and melting
Examples of common polaritätstragende functional groups include hydroxyl (-OH), carbonyl (C=O), and amino (-NH2) groups. These
