Polar refers to molecules that are polarized, due to the difference of electronegativity of the atoms within the molecule. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to pull electrons to itself. Four of the most electronegative elements of the periodic table are F, 0, N, and Cl. In a water molecule (H2O), the element O is very electronegative while H is not. Therefore, this difference of electronegativity causes the molecule to be polarized and the electrons are pulled more towards the O.

In corrosion, polarizations refers to any change in the equillibrium potential of an electrochemical reaction.

Polarization will cause net anodic or cathodic current.

Polarity in chemistry refers to the distribution of charge within a molecule. It is affected by how the electrons are shared between atoms in the covalent bond.
