If you'll take a look at its structure benzophenone is polar but during our laboratory we were able to determine if it's polar or non-polar by TLC. The TLC plate was developed in a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate with a 9:1 ratio respectively. This would mean that the solvent used is non-polar due to the large amount of petroleum ether. Finally our group was able to determine the Rf value of benzophenone and we found out that it has an Rf value of 0.4737 so this would mean that benzophenone is non-polar because its Rf value is near to 1.

Is benzophenone soluble in hexane?
Benzophenone is partially soluble in hexane. Benzophenone is polar, where as, hexane is nonpolar. "Like dissolves like."
Why does cyclohexanone dissolve in benzophenone and not in water?
Cyclohexanone and benzophenone are both non-polar. Water is polar. "Like dissolves like" so non-polar substances dissovle other non-polar substances and polar substances dissolve other polar substances.
What is the increasing polarity order of bi phenyl benzhydrol benzophenone?
From least to most polar: biphenyl >> benzophenone >> benzhydrol
Is br2 polar or non polar?
non polar.
Is C10H8 polar or non polar?
Is NH4Cl polar or non polor

What are the advantages of benzophenone as a solvent compared to water?
Benzophenone dissolves non-polar molecules better than water. It is commonly used in preparing pure and anhydrous solvents because it removes moisture and oxygen unlike water.
Is benzoic acid polar or nonpolar?
It is non polar because although it has a carbonyl group that is polar (as the oxygen is more electronegative than the carbon and so forms a dipole), this polarity is outweighed by the hydrophobic nature of the organic part of the compound.
Is br2 polar or non polar?
non polar.
Is C10H8 polar or non polar?
Is NH4Cl polar or non polor
Is i2 polar or non-polar?
I2 is non-polar
Is oil polar or non polar?
Oil is non polar
How would you convert benzophenone into benzanilide?
benzophenone + NH3OHCl --> benzophenone oxime (+acid) ---> beckmann rearrangement --> benzanilide
Is aquades polar or non polar?
non polar
Is charcoal polar or non polar?
non-polar
