Definitions:

Polar Molecules

Molecules exhibiting a distribution of charge due to differences in electronegativity between bonded atoms, resulting in dipole moments.

Solvents

Substances that dissolve a solute, resulting in a solution, widely used in chemical reactions, process separations, and product formulations to dissolve, suspend or extract materials.

Triple Bond

A chemical bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms, creating a strong connection that is found in certain organic and inorganic compounds.

Functional Groups

Distinct clusters of atoms present in molecules that drive the typical chemical reactions associated with these molecules.
