Smell of Vinyl Acetate[edit]

Vinyl acetate as a polar monomer[edit]
At en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomer#Classification we read that the monomer vinyl acetate is a polar, as contrasted to a nonpolar, monomer. That article links "vinyl acetate" of course to this article. Would it make sense for this article therefore to mention this fact, namely, that vinyl acetate is a polar monomer? And perhaps, describe that property?
