Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The C=O bond in acetone is polar because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, causing a partial negative charge on the oxygen and a partial positive charge on the carbon. The other bonds in acetone (C-C and C-H) are nonpolar because they involve two atoms with similar electronegativities.
