A molecule is polar because it has an uneven distribution of electrons within it. For example the oxygen in H2O has a higher electronegativity than the hydrogen. This means that the oxygen will possess more of the electron, and therefore more of the negative charge than the hydrogen, leading to a polar molecule.
