  Chemical polarity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chemical polarity, also known as bond polarity or just polarity, is a concept in chemistry which describes how equally bonding electrons are shared between atoms.
Polarity refers to the dipole-dipole intermolecular forces between the slightly positively-charged end of one molecule to the negative end of another or the same molecule.
Molecular polarity is dependent on the difference in electronegativity between atoms in a compound and the asymmetry of the compound's structure.

 [No title]
Chemical polarity refers how polar a chemical bond is. To find the polarity, take the difference in the electronegativity.
If the result is below 1.8 and above 0.3, the bond is polar.
Ionic bonds are considered to be extremely polar.

 The Chemical Context of Life   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Chemical bonds come in a variety of types that may be characterized in terms of the shapes of the probabilistic clouds and the related concept of the degree to which the electrons are shared evenly between the atoms (or otherwise “hogged” by one atom relative to another)
Therefore, increasing polarity is observed with increasing donation of electrons, and ionic bonds represent an extreme example of electron donation.
From the existence of these partial charges we infer polarity in the bond (i.e., the electron is held more closely by one atom than it is by the other) and we would describe this bond as polar covalent.

From the chemical formula of a compound, we will be able to determine its polarity, that is, to what extent one end of its molecule is negatively charged while the other end is positively charged.
From a molecule's polarity, we will learn how to predict which of the various types of chemical bonds it is capable of forming.
Ultimately, by knowing what kinds of chemical bonds various compounds form, we will be able to compare their physical properties - properties like melting point, boiling point, and miscibility (how well they mix with one another).

A scheme with increasing polarities of the mobile phase was prepared using mixtures of hexane (P' = 0.1), DCM (P' = 3.1) and acetone (P' = 5.1) as mobile phases.
Increasing the polarity of the mobile phase accelerates the elution time, since the polar compounds retained by the polar stationary phase will tend to return to the mobile phase, as its polarity increases.
During the analysis of the polarity fractions, it was noted, that the contents of the samples were very consistent between the samples.

 Chemical and Rheological Characterization of Drag-Reducing Cationic Surfactant Systems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Surfactant drag-reducing additives are very promising for saving pumping energy in recirculation systems such as district heating and cooling systems because of their "self-repairability" after mechanical degradation compared to polymer drag-reducing additives, which degrade irreversibly.
The effectiveness of cationic surfactant drag-reducing additives, as indicated by their effective drag-reduction temperatures and Reynolds number ranges, depends on the chemical structures and concentrations of the surfactants and counterions.
In this paper, the effects of the surfactant (alkyl chain length, saturated/unsaturated chain, odd/even numbers of carbons, and surfactant headgroup) and counterion (size, polarity, etc.) chemical structures on surfactant drag reduction, as well as three physical properties postulated to be associated with surfactant drag reduction, are addressed.
