they are polar due to the difference in electronegativity. For example HCl. Cl has a higher electronegativity then hydrogen. Another example is KOH. The OH has less electronegativity then the potassium. So therefore they are all polar.

Acids can either polar or nonpolar depending on the type. Many amino acids and nucleic acids are polar, while some amino acids like tryptophan are nonpolar.
