    No—biphenyl is essentially nonpolar due to its symmetric aromatic hydrocarbon structure and lack of polar functional groups.

  2. Is biphenyl polar or nonpolar?

    Nonpolar; it has no significant dipole moment.

  3. Is biphenyl soluble in methanol?

    Only sparingly; it dissolves much better in nonpolar organic solvents, with limited solubility in methanol that increases with heat.

  4. Is biphenyl soluble in water?

    No—it's practically insoluble in water.

  5. What is a polychlorinated biphenyl?

    A PCB is a biphenyl molecule with multiple chlorine atoms attached; these synthetic chemicals were used as dielectric and coolant fluids but are now widely restricted due to persistence and toxicity.
