It is polar.
The oxygen has 4 electron domains. 2 are occupied by a molecule of different electronegativity, and 2 are only occupied by electrons. (another molecule that has this similar is H2O witch is polar) CH3OCH3 is shaped with the Carbons and Hydrogens at one side, oxygen in the middle, and electrons on the other side. this causes the molecule to be polar.

What is the name of CH3COCH3?
Its a polyatomic ion called Acetate
For which of the following molecules would the intermolecular forces be due mainly to London forces CH3COCH3 O2 CH3OH SO3 H2S?
Ok let's look at the different molecules: 1. CH3COCH3 is acetone. The molecule is a trigonal planar around the central carbon with the electronegative oxygen pulling electron density towards itself. So this is a polar molecule. 2. O2 is non-polar and relies only on dispersion forces. 3. CH3OH is has hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole forces, and dispersion forces. 4. SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule with three oxygens around the sulfur, making it non-polar. Therefore it relies only on dispersion forces. 5. H2S is another polar molecule (bent by two lone pairs on the sulfur). So SO3 and O2 are the two molecules relying mainly on dispersion (London) forces.
How do you write a balanced equation for acetone?
C6h5ch(ch3)2 + o2 → c6h5oh + oc(ch3)2 ch3coch3
Is acetone an acid?
No. Acetone is a ketone. Acetone is CH3COCH3 Ether is of the type R-O-R
CONSIDERING ONLY THE PROTONES BONDED TO CARBON, put in order of acidity descending the following compoundsCH3CH2OH, CH3COCH3, CH3COH, CH3COOCH3?
hi
What is a functional name of CH3COCH3?
The molecule is propanone (IUPAC name) or acetone (common name) and has a ketone group (>C=O) as the functional group.
Why acetone is more polar than ethylacetate?
The dipole moment in acetone is greater than in the acetate group and therefore acetone is more polar (polarity index of 5.1) than ethylacetate (polarity index 4.4).CH3COCH3 as opposed to CH3COOCH2CH3While both compounds contain a double bond to oxygen (as highlighted above), which creates a strong dipole moment (i.e. polarity in the molecule) the adjacent oxygen in the acetate group attracts electrons to itself reducing the electron density in the double bonded oxygen thereby reducing the molecule's polarity.
What is the chemical and common name of HCH3COOH?
# CH3COCH3 is in IUPAC propane-2-one (acetone)# CH3COOH is in IUPAC acetic acid (preferred name)
