Advertisement for Hydrated Morphine
Morphine Hydrate is a form of the drug Morphine. It is highly addictive, and is commonly used as a potent painkiller. It should be used for medical purposes only, and if misused, Morphine, both in its hydrated form and non-hydrated form can be extremely dangerous. That said, when it is used correctly, Morphine Hydrate is good for post surgical pain, as well as other forms of chronic pain. Also, Morphine in all its forms should only be distributed by medical professionals and hospitals.
Properties of Hydrated Morphine (Morphine Hydrate)
-The PH of hydrated Morphine is 8.5, making it generally neutral, and not acidic
-Opium based, and therefore potentially addictive if misused
-Like Morphine, Morphine Hydrate has the potential to become addictive
-Most commonly used as a painkiller
-In 2003, there was discovery of endogenous morphine occurring naturally in the human body

Forces of Attraction...
There are three possible forces of attraction. The first is London Dispersion Forces, the second is Dipole-Dipole, and the third is Hydrogen Bonding. If hydrated morphine were to come in contact with itself, the forces which would attract the first molecule to the other molecule would be London forces, Dipole-Dipole and Hydrogen Bonding.
Polar or Non-Polar?
This is a polar molecule! This molecule is polar because the bonds are polar covalent, and because the molecule is not symmetrical. Therefore, it does have two poles, one negative pole and one positive pole.
