Polar molecules have positive charge on one side and negative charge on other side. Non polar molecules have covalent bond and do not have positive and negative charge on one or other side of the molecule.
There isn't exactly something known as a non-polar lipid. A lipid consists of a polar phosphate 'head' and a non-polar hydrocarbon 'tail'. When something is 'polar', it means that that the charges between a compound aren't shared equally. For example, in water (H2O), H has a slightly positive charge while O has a slightly negative charge. Since the 'head' of the lipid is polar, it attracts H2O molecules and so it is hydrophilic. On the other hand, the 'tail' of the lipid is non-polar, hence it is hydrophobic.
Polar is when there's an uneven distribution of charge. So for water, H2O, there are two hydrogens and one oxygen. The oxygen is electronegative while the hydrogens are positive. So the electron density is higher around the oxygen making the oxygen side of the molecule negative and the hydrogen side positive. This is polar. Non polar is when the distribution of charge is pretty even; often fats and oils.
Based on it's formal charge being zero, it is non-polar.
The geometry of PO(OH)3 is tetrahedral with an unsymmetric charge distribution.Therefore this molecule is polar.
Polar molecules have positive charge on one side and negative charge on other side. Non polar molecules have covalent bond and do not have positive and negative charge on one or other side of the molecule.
A polar molecule, like water, is one that has a slight positive charge on one side and a slight negative charge on the other. A non-polar molecule, like a lipid, is one that has a neutral charge throughout.
HF is non polar as most electronegative element fluorine is attached to hydrogen.that creates a partial positive charge over hydrogen and partial negative charge over fluorine.which creates polarity
The amino acid alanine is non-polar, it has a neutral charge, not positive or negative, and it is hydrophobic.
Some but not most non polar molecules have both negative and positive "ends" to their individual bonds. Examples include tetrafluoromethane. By definition, however, a non-polar molecule does not have negative and positive ends to an entire molecule.
A polar molecule in which there is some separation of charge in the chemical bonds, so that one part of the molecule has a slight positive charge and the other a slight negative charge. A common example of polar molecule is water. The water acts as a solvent for polar molecules. A non-polar molecule has no separation of charge, so no positive or negative poles are formed.
It is a non polar molecule. It has optical characteristics but no charge.
yes its a charged polar molecule b'coz f positive charge s +nt on de Nitrogen atom f imidazole ring
The bonds are polar because chlorine is highly electronegative. That produces minor negative charge on each chlorine in the compound and minor positive on the boron. Because chlorine is large and boron small, the overall effect is to produce a molecule that appears to carry a slight negative charge because the minor positive charge is "buried" inside the molecule. To be trully polar, a molecule must have both a minor negative and minor positive charge open to its surroundings (not a good way to explain, but I hope it makes sense).
When a substance is polar it means that the molecules have a partial positive charge on one part of the molecule and a partial negative charge on the other. When a substance such as a lipid is nonpolar it means that it does not have this trait.

No, Benzene is a non-polar compound Almost non polar liquid.
