Question

Difference between polar and nonpolar protic solvent

Answer 1

Polar protic solvent - water, H2O. The polar aprotic example has a dipole moment not involving hydrogen, whereas water has a dipole moment involving hydrogen. A solvent which has dipole moment i.e is polar but doesnot gives H+ ions i.e dosesnot dissociates into H+ ions is called a polar aprotic solvent.
