There is electrical potential difference between out side of the cell and inside of the cell, in case of the polarized neuron. This electrical difference is lost in case of depolarization. That is what can be said roughly.
A depolarized neuron will successfully pass a message. If you have a polarized neuron will not be able to feel a burn, ect.
True

polarized
Polarized
When a neuron is polarized, usually by the influx of chloride ions into the neuron, it is incapable of creating an action potential (incapable of firing). Only when the neuron returns to a resting potential, via pumping ions back across the membrane, can it be depolarized (sodium ion influx) to generate an action potential.
True
A neuron that is polarized is also at rest potential. At this stage it is not conducting an impulse and has sodium ions on the outside and potassium ions on the inside.
