Polar solvent

Japanese: polar solvent（英語表記）polarsolvent

…When a molecule or chemical bond has a bias in the distribution of electric charge, it is said to have polarity, and is called a polar molecule or a polar bond, respectively. A substance made of polar molecules is called a polar compound, a liquid is called a polar liquid, or a polar solvent, and a polar substituent is called a polar group. Polar molecules have a dipole moment and a relatively large dielectric constant, and their liquids dissolve other polar molecules and ionic compounds well. …

From [Polar Liquid]

…For example, the ⊿ S _v of water and ethyl alcohol are 109,110 J/K･mol, respectively. When a polar liquid is used as a solvent, it is called a polar solvent. Polar compounds are easily soluble in polar solvents. …

…分子または化学結合において電荷分布に偏りがあるとき極性があるといい，それぞれ極性分子polar molecule，極性結合polar bondと呼ぶ。また極性分子からなる物質を極性化合物，液体を極性液体polar liquid，あるいは極性溶媒polar solventと呼び，極性のある置換基を極性基と称する。極性分子は双極子モーメントをもち，誘電率が比較的大きく，その液体は他の極性分子やイオン結合化合物をよく溶かす。…
