Soap is actually both.
It is similar to a phospholipid in that it has a polar head and a nonpolar tail.
Soap is polar and non-polar
The molecule that makes up soap or detergent has a polar head and a nonpolar tail. In chemistry, compounds that are polar like to mix with other polar compounds and compounds that are nonpolar like to mix with other nonpolar compounds. This is why oil and water don't mix. Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. Oil and grease are a nonpolar compounds. When in water the soap molecules will arrange themselves in such a way that the nonpolar tails surround the grease creating a spherical droplet. On the face of this sphere is the polar heads of the soap molecule. This allows it to interact with the polar water. This is how soap and laundry detergent are able to remove oil and grease and wash it down the drain.
nonpolar or polar
Nonpolar
both, the water is polar and the chemicals are non polar
there is no such thing as a non polar end, the whole molecule is either polar or nonpolar. in a polar molecule, the negative end has the purpose of being attracted and combining with the positive end of another polar molecule; if that's what you meant.

Water will dissolve anything that is polar but oil is nonpolar. It usually takes nonpolar liquids to dissolve a nonpolar substance. Soap molecules help with this because they have a polar head that interacts with water nicely and a nonpolar tail that interacts with things like oil. The end result is a drop of oil with a layer of soap floating around in the water.

yes
There are two isomers of Ethenediol. One is polar and the other is nonpolar.
It's ionic, not polar
