Polarity
◦ Means asymmetric
◦
Polarity of a bond :
unequal charge distribution btwn 2 atoms
◦
polarity of molecule :
unequal charge distribution over a whole MIC
◦ structural polarity of a polymer
:
A
polymer has two chemically
distinct ends , and so it has directionally
Nucleic acids directionally
