Any molecule that has a charge, negative or positive, is considered polar.

in covalent bonds, polarity happens by one atom not sharing the electrons equally, so the atoms recieve a charge.

Any molecule that contains an oxygen along with a hydrogen is also polar, but if it only contains Hydrogens and Carbons it is non-polar.

Enjoy!
