Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
What happens to the polarity of a molecule when you epoxidize a double bond?
Accepted Answer
Epoxidation of a double bond introduces a polar functional group, the epoxide ring. The oxygen atom in the epoxide ring is more electronegative than carbon, creating a dipole moment and making the molecule more polar.
