This depends on the differece between the electronesgativities of the two elements. For ionic bonds the difference is higher.

Is nl3 polar or non polar?

NL3 (nitrogen trifluoride) is a polar molecule. This is because the nitrogen atom has a higher electronegativity compared to the fluorine atoms, leading to an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule.


What condition must be met if a molecule having polar bonds is to be non polar?

Yes a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it.if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar


What are the properties of a molecule that make it both polar and hydrophobic?

A molecule is polar if it has a positive and negative end, while being hydrophobic means it repels water. To be both polar and hydrophobic, a molecule must have a polar region that interacts with water and a nonpolar region that repels water. This dual nature allows the molecule to be both attracted to and repelled by water.
