Hydrogen bonds are polar by definition.
& because Non polar molecules arnt strong enough to form strong H bonds, no dipole-dipole forces exist between the particles soo they cant be polar.
Non-polar molecules only have weak London dispersion forces in between their particles.
PS every molecule has London dispersion forces

∙ 14y agoMost non polar molecules don't. An example of a non polar molecule that is able to form hydrogen bonds is the amino acid tryptophan due its indole ring.

What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?
Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
Which type of covalent bond is the molecule H2?
There are non polar covalent bonds in hydrogen molecules.
What type of bonds are found in nonpolar molecuels?
Molecules from the atoms of same element such as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are non-polar molecules and they have covalent bonds in them.
Do diatomic elements have nonpolar covalent bonds?
Diatomic molecules have non-polar covalent bonds and are non-polar molecules
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.

What types of bonds do water form?
Water molecules form covalent bonds, because they are non-metal compounds. If you mean the bonds within the water molecules themselves, they are Hydrogen bonds.
Do diatomic elements have nonpolar covalent bonds?
Diatomic molecules have non-polar covalent bonds and are non-polar molecules
Why oil is not dissolve in water?
oil is non-polar, so cannot form bonds with the water molecules - water molecules are polar, and hydrogen-bond to each other so for a substance to dissolve in water is must also be polar in order to form hydrogen bonds or permanent dipole - permanent dipole bonds.
How do polar and non-polar bonds interact with each other?
Polar molecules reacts with polar molecules and non-polar molecules react with non-polar molecules.
Do all non polar and polar covalent bonds include hydrogen?
no

Is CH2CH2CH3 polar or nonpolar?
Bonds between carbon and hydrogen are non-polar.
What type of bond ionic or molecular and polar or non polar is sodium iodide and carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas?
Sodium iodide has ionic bonds, which are always polar. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas both have molecular (covalent) bonds; the ones in carbon dioxide are polar and those in elemental hydrogen molecules (H2) are nonpolar.
Are polar molecules hydrophillic?
No, non-polar molecules are hydrophobic because they cannot form hydrogen bonds. A good example of this would be a cell membrane. The fatty acids in the lipid bilayer are non-polar and hydrophobic, while the polar ends that face the outside and inside of the cell are hydrophilic.
