What is the difference of polar and non polar?

Answer 1

Polar covalent molecules have a defined axis (or defined axes) of partial positive and partial negative elements. The difference in all the electronegativities of each element should be between .4 and 1.7 inclusively. For example, H2O:



Non-polar covalent molecules do not have a defined axis of partial positive and partial negative elements. The difference in at least one of the electronegativities of at least 2 elements should be less than .4 exclusively. For example, CCl4:



Non-polar covalent molecules:
1.) Either have at least 1 bond between at least 2 elements as Non-polar covalent
2.) Do not have a defined axis (or axes) or partial positive and negative.


Polar covalent molecules, however, do.


Non-polar Covalent Bonds:
Difference of the electronegativities is < .4


Polar covalent bonds:
Difference of the electronegativities is >/= .4 and

Ionic Bonds:
Difference of the electronegativities is > 1.7

Answer 2

Polarity is the difference in charge between the components of the molecule, whereas the polarizability is the easy with which the negative and positive ends of the structure may be separated.

Answer 3

polar is when two elements are unequally combined

nonpolar is when two elements are equally combined?

Non-polar molecules are those whose center of gravity of nuclei coincide with that of the electrons.For polar molecules the centers of gravity are different for nuclei and the electrons.The dipole moment of a non-polar molecule is 0(ex:carbon-di-oxide).But for polar molecules it's not so.(ex: water)

Answer 4

Polarizability is the apotitude to form instantly a dipole, electric or magnetic.
Polarizing power is the aptitude of a cation to distort an anion.
