A non-polar molecule is a molecule that is symmetrical in the sense that the atoms on the outside pull equally on the central atom, thus not causing any differences in electronegativity.
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the lipid bilayer because the lipid bilayer is made up of nonpolar molecules itself, allowing nonpolar molecules to pass through easily.
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules

Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Nonpolar. Molecules that dissolve in nonpolar solvents like gasoline tend to be nonpolar themselves, as nonpolar substances are attracted to each other through London dispersion forces. Water, being a polar solvent, is not able to dissolve nonpolar molecules as effectively.
Hydrophobic. These molecules tend to be nonpolar or have a nonpolar region, which makes them poorly soluble in water. Instead, they often interact with other nonpolar molecules.
Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the cell membrane through simple diffusion.
Nonpolar covalent molecules share electrons equally between the atoms, leading to a symmetrical distribution of charge and no net dipole moment. This results in their nonpolar nature and lack of attraction to polar molecules.
The term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules is a nonpolar solvent. These types of liquids do not have a permanent electric dipole moment and typically do not dissolve polar substances well.
