How do you predict if a substance is polar slightly polar or non-polar by looking at its structure?

As a general rule one should look at how the electrons are arranged in the molecule, and should note that lone pairs of electrons are particularly electronegative. In other words, look for sharp bond angles, atoms in a molecule which are close together tend to be positive, isolated atoms are often negative - most oxygen containing organic molecules are soluble, most hydrocarbons are not.

How do you predict if the substance is polar slightly polar or non-polar by looking at its structure?
If all sides are the same its non-polar, but if they are different then the substance is polar.
How can you predict the structure of a substance by only looking at its symbol?
one cannot predict the structure of the substance just by looking at its symbol. yes, we can predict the type of bonding,which can help us in determining the structure of the substance.
What is the density of a substance determine?
It seems that the phrase you are looking for is "physical property". Density depends on several factors, such as: is the substance a solid, liquid or gas (the same substance will have vastly different densities at different states, but density is still a physical property of that substance); what temperature is it being measured at (most substances expand and become slightly less dense when heated); among others.
