The polarity of a molecule is quantified by its dipole moment. Calculating the dipole moment of a molecule (except if it is zero or completely non-polar) is not a simple task however, and it is generally determined experimentally.
See the Related Questions to the left for how to determine the polarity of a molecule.

∙ 13y agoPolarity is described as how much pull on electrons one element in a bonding. For example, in water, hydrogen has a partial positive charge and oxygen has a partial negative charge. This means that the electron has a strong pull closer towards the oxygen more than the hydrogen. We can therefore conclude that oxygen has a higher polarity.

∙ 11y agocheck the electronegitivity....The polarity of a bond is determined by the differences in electronegativity of the reacting elements. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. As the electronegativity number of an element increases, it draws electrons in harder towards itself. This is how polarity is created. If one element has a higher electronegativity, or pulls harder on electrons, it pulls more of the mass towards itself, creating an uneven balance of mass, For HF , since H has an electronegativity of 2.1 and F has an electronegativity of 4.0, the Flourine would be pulling harder on the electrons, leading to a polar molecule with the Flourine side having more electron density.

How is polarity related to bond strength?
Polarity is related to bond strength because the bigger the difference in electronegativity, the higher the bond energy will be. This will then give rise to a much stronger bond.
What is the difference between individual bond polarity and molecular polarity?
bond polarity is the polarity particular bond within a molecule, while molecular polarity is the polarity of the whole molecule. take for example water (H20): you could find the bond polarity of each H-0 bond (polar covalent), or the polarity of the whole molecule together (polar, because the electronegativity of oxygen is higher than the hydrogen atoms)
What determines the degree of polarity in a bond?
The electronegitivity of the elements in the bond.
Is n-o a polar bond?
NO ---- Nitrogen = 3.04 electronegativity Oxygen = 3.44 electrovegativity 3.44 - 3.04 = 0.4 The polarity would be very slight if any polarity existed at all.
Is N O a polar bond?
NO ---- Nitrogen = 3.04 electronegativity Oxygen = 3.44 electrovegativity 3.44 - 3.04 = 0.4 The polarity would be very slight if any polarity existed at all.

How does electronegative affect the polarity the polarity of the bond between two atoms?
The more electronegative atom will make its end of the bond more negative.-Apex

Does PH5 have bond polarity?
PH5 does not exist. If it did, the bonds would possible be polar as there is an electrnegativivty difference between P and H. PH3 does exist and will have bond polarity.

Hydrogen Bond
What is the bond polarity of CO?
Polar Covalent
Direction of bond polarity Br- Br?
nonpolar
How does a drawing of polarity water and the bond polarities make a major contribution to the overall molecular polarity look?
The polarity is a vector quantity. The resultant of the polarity of bonds determines the polarity of the molecule. In CO2 there is polarity between the two C-O but the polarity is equal and opposite in direction so CO2 doesn't have polarity. If the polarity of bonds is not cancelled then the polarity remains in the molecule.
