Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
What is the relative polarity index of dcm vs diethyl ether?
Accepted Answer
Dichloromethane (DCM) is more polar than diethyl ether. This is because DCM has a dipole moment due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine atoms. Diethyl ether, on the other hand, has a symmetrical structure with minimal polarity.
