Part of Ethanol is polar, part is non-polar. This property allows ethanol to be miscible in both polar and non-polar substances.

Ethylene Glycol is a polar molecule due to its asymmetrical structure and the presence of polar hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which create uneven charge distribution. This polarity allows ethylene glycol to dissolve in polar solvents such as water.
Ethanol contains both polar and nonpolar parts so it can combine with pretty much anything. Like Water(polar) or Vegetable oil(nonpolar)
No, ethyl alcohol is not considered non-polar. It is considered polar because it contains a polar hydroxyl group, which is considered polar.
Ethanol is a polar molecule due to the fact it has a highly electronegative atom (oxygen) on the terminal carbon which makes that side of the molecule delta- and the other side delta+
Ethanol molecule has two parts: one is polar (-OH) and another is not polar (C2H5-).
Yes, ethanol is more polar than ethylene glycol. This is because ethanol has a higher percentage of polar hydroxyl (-OH) groups compared to ethylene glycol, which results in stronger intermolecular interactions and higher polarity.
No, ethylene glycol is not conductive.
Ethylene glycol is composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms. Its chemical formula is C2H6O2.
Ethanol is used as an antidote for ethylene glycol poisoning because it competes with ethylene glycol for the same enzyme that metabolizes both substances in the liver. By giving ethanol, it can inhibit the formation of toxic metabolites of ethylene glycol, thereby reducing its toxicity. This allows more ethylene glycol to be excreted unchanged in the urine.
Ethylene glycol is a highly polar molecule due to its two hydroxyl (OH) functional groups. This polarity allows ethylene glycol to form strong hydrogen bonds with water molecules, contributing to its solubility in water and its use as an antifreeze.
