No, take for example hydrochloric acid (HCl). Because the two atoms are in a covalent bond and have different electronegativities, the chlorine atom is slightly negative and the hydrogen positive respectively.
Therefore, one end of the linear molecule (because two atoms are always linear) is slightly negative, and the other is slightly positive, making it a polar molecule.

How does the structure of phospholipids linear molecules with a polar end and a nonpolar end relate to their function in the cell membrane?
Which is the effect of having the polar and nonpolar ends of phospholipid molecules oriented as they are in this illustration?
What are molecules that do not have opposite charged ends?
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What molecules are not attracted to polar molecules?
Nonpolar
What is the term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules?
Nonpolar solvent

What is nonpolar a. NF3 b. H2O c. C2H2 d. CO2?
C2H2 and CO2 are linear molecules and are non polar.
What are molecules that do not have opposite charged ends?
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
What do nonpolar molecule have?
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What molecules are not attracted to polar molecules?
Nonpolar
What is the term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules?
Nonpolar solvent
What polar molecules are attracted to water?
Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.
What do nonpolars have?
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Which structural formula represents a nonpolar molecule?
In the linear configuration, the bond dipoles cancel. Thus, the configurations of molecules with a bond dipole must be tetrahedral and linear respectively.
What Can Water Not Dissolve?
Water is a universal solvent and can dissolve many substances, but it cannot dissolve non-polar substances like oil, grease, and some plastics. These substances do not have a charge and therefore do not interact well with water molecules.
Are all hydrocarbons polar molecules?
Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules.
