dipole when placed in nonuniform electric field it experiences a net force if field is varying in direction but if field is nonuniform in magnitude then force depends on its posititon it may experience a torque again depends on depends on its posititon so it may translate as well as rotate

When a dipole is placed into an electric field, a torque is created on the dipole which is expressed by the equation τ = p X E, where τ is the torque, p is the dipole moment, E is the electric field, and p X E is the cross product of p and E. All values are vectors.

Molecules don't have charges. If they acquire a charge we'd call them ions. If ions are in an electric field their behaviour depends on the physical state of the substance. In a liquid or gas, where they are free to move, positive ions are attracted to a negative electrode and negative ions to a positive one. When they reach the electrode they are discharged and chemical changes occur.

If a large enough electric field is applied how does an electric conductor become an insulator?

If a very large electric field is applied on a conductor then a phenomenon of a dielectric breakdown takes place and it looses all its charge carriers to the nearest conductor. Hence becoming an insulator.

Why do polar molecules absorb IR?

You can view incident IR radiation as an oscillating electric field ( the 'wave-like' view of EM radiation.) As such, it effects the vibration of a molecule by inducing a dipole oscillation of the same frequency. The connection is most clearly seen if you consider that the induced dipole oscillation produces an identical oscillating electric field to the field that induced it. A molecule can only produce an oscillating electric field by vibration if its vibration produces a change in dipole moment (a non-polar molecule would produce a constant electric field regardless of the vibration.) I hope that helps
