Parrafin wax is non-polar.
Non-Polar If you want to know whether or not something is polar or non-polar, just ask yourself if it would mix with water.
Water is a polar molecule and if a substance is polar, it will dissolve. Non-polar substances will not dissolve in water respectively. The saying in chemistry is like dissolves like.
Wax is does not mix with water because it is a lipid (all lipids are non-polar).
Wax is hydrophobic meaning that is would have to be non-polar because of the polarity of water.
Nonpolar. The formula of a wax is CnH2n+2 where n is a number in the subscript. So, if you draw out the Lewis structure, it will always be nonpolar.
Candle wax consists mainly of hydrocarbons which are non-polar substances (and not ionic at all). Thus, the predominant bonding interaction in candle wax would be van der Waals interactions.
Pretty sure it's non-polar.

It is called polar
An iodine molecule is formed by two 'I' atoms. It implies that the molecule is symmetrical and it is non-polar.
Nonpolar compounds do not have dipole moments. Dipole moments are polar forces. If the compound is nonpolar then there is no polarity within that molecule.
The shape of molecule is two symmetrical triangle. Electronegativities of C and H are different, therefore C - H bonds polar, but C = C bond is nonpolar. Since the molecule is symmetrical there is an even charge distribution, and hence the molecule is nonpolar.
Beryllium chloride is a nonpolar molecule.

No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.

Dihydrogen monoxide (H2O or Water) is not an example of a nonpolar molecule. It is a polar molecule.

It is polar. That is why water sticks to your skin, unlike wax, a nonpolar substance.

It is polar because it is asymmetrical
