A polar molecule has two poles, which are the positive pole and the negative pole. This comes about because the different atoms in the molecule have different degrees of attraction for electrons, and the shared electron cloud therefore is denser in some locations than in others. To give the best known example, water is a polar molecule. It is slightly negatively charged where the oxygen atom is, and slightly positively charged where the two hydrogen atoms are.

∙ 14y agoPolar indicates a dipole moment in the direction of the more electronegative atom. Typical electronegative atoms include Oxygen, Nitrogen, F/Cl/Br/I, etc. This just means that the electronegative atom is pulling the electron density away from the less electronegative atom.

Is Caesium polar or non-polar?
Caesium is a chemical element not a solvent.
Is Na polar or non polar?
Sodium is nonpolar, as is any element on its own.
Is beryllium magnetic?
no it is not
Is O and H polar?
Any bond between two atoms of the same element are non polar. Hence, O-O bond is non polar.
What is the difference between polar and nonpolar molecules?
Polar covalent molecule is where one element in the bond is more electronegative and holds the shared electrons closer to itself. Non polar covalent bonds is where they're evenly between each element.
Is the element copper polar?
no, it isn't polar.
Is Caesium polar or non-polar?
Caesium is a chemical element not a solvent.
Co polar or non-polar?
Cobalt (Co) is a chemical element.
Is a molecule of fluorine polar?
No. Fluorine is an element. Two atoms of the same element will not form a polar bond because there is no difference in electronegativity.
Is caesium non-polar solvents or polar?
Caesium is a chemical element not a solvent.
Is Na polar or non polar?
Sodium is nonpolar, as is any element on its own.
Is fluorine molecule polar molecule?
No. Fluorine is an element. Two atoms of the same element will not form a polar bond because there is no difference in electronegativity.
Is californium polar?
Californium is a chemical element !
Is CO polar non polar or ionic?
Cobalt is an element. Polar, non-polar and ionic are terms to describe compounds. They measure whether the compound as delta charges or their form of bonding. Thus, it is not applicable to cobalt (Co), which is an element and pure by itself.
Is xenon polar?
No, first xenon is an element, and so cannot be polar. Second, it is monatomic, and a single atom cannot be polar.
Is the element carbon polar or non-polar?
They all are polarized in respect to there neighboring atoms. If alone in the universe then it would be non-polar.
Is plutonium polar?
Plutonium is a chemical element, not a molecule.
