In chemistry, as you will learn, atoms, aside from having Protons and Neutrons and Electrons, also have a property called 'electronegativity'. Electronegativity of an atom affects how it gives and takes electrons. So based on where the atoms with the most and least electronegativity level are placed will determine where the most electrons are. The end with the most electrons will be negative, and the other end positive. This how a polar molecule works.
In a nonpolar molecule, like Ammonia (NH3) most of the atoms are the same, and thus have the same electronegativity levels (three Hydrogen atoms). These are arranged around one particularly electronegative atom (Nitrogen) so all the electrons are distributed evenly, thus a lack of electromagnetic poles.

Is artificial flavor polar or nonpolar?
Artificial flavors can be either polar or nonpolar, depending on their chemical structure. Some artificial flavors may have polar functional groups (such as hydroxyl or carbonyl groups), making them polar molecules, while others may have nonpolar structures, making them nonpolar molecules.
What happens when a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine?
When a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine, they may form a heterogeneous mixture where the polar and nonpolar components do not mix together. The polar and nonpolar substances will tend to separate due to their differing intermolecular forces.
Is the molecule co polar or nonpolar?
The molecule is nonpolar.
Are polar solutes soluble in nonpolar solvents?
No, polar solutes are generally not soluble in nonpolar solvents.
How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
Is cinnamon polar of nonpolar?
Cinnamon is a mixture of various compounds, some of which are polar (such as cinnamaldehyde) and some are nonpolar (such as cinnamyl alcohol). Overall, cinnamon can be considered to exhibit both polar and nonpolar properties.
Characteristics for polar and nonpolar molecues?
Polar molecules have separation of charges .ie. they have a partial positive and partial negative charges on molecule as in water . Non polar molecules e.g.methane has no separation of positive and negative charges as difference of electronegativity in C and H is very small .
Is C3H6Br2 polar or non polar?
Nonpolar
Is artificial flavor polar or nonpolar?

Is SiF6 2- polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is cyclohexane a polar solvent or a non polar solvent?
It is nonpolar
Is triclosan polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is ICL4- polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
Is peanut butter polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar. The fat molecules in peanut butter are nonpolar, that is why peanut butter doesn't evenly mix with water, a polar substance.
Is sulfar trioxide polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
What happens when a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine?
When a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine, they may form a heterogeneous mixture where the polar and nonpolar components do not mix together. The polar and nonpolar substances will tend to separate due to their differing intermolecular forces.
Is HBr polar or nonpolar?
Polar
