Which of the following carbonyl compounds is most polar?

A$$C_2H_5-{\overset{O}{\overset{||}{C}}}-C_2H_5 $$
B$$CH_3-{\overset{O}{\overset{||}{C}}}-CH_3 $$
C$$CH_3-{\overset{O}{\overset{||}{C}}}-H $$
D$$H-{\overset{O}{\overset{||}{C}}}-H $$
Correct Answer

Solution

More the electrophilicity of carboxyl-carbon more will be the positive charge on carbon. $$\therefore$$ More will be the negative charge on oxygen $$\therefore$$ More will be polarity.
