Opposite by definition;

" Having a position on the other or further side of something."

Polar opposite, is essentially the opposite of something that is of the further* side. Ergo, all polar opposites are opposites, but not all opposites are polar.

For example:

Word: Famous (Known about by many people)

A polar opposite: Infamous (Well known for some bad quality or deed)

Ordinary opposite Unknown (Not known or familiar)

In summary, a polar opposite, is an opposite of the word within the same 'field' if you will.

What covalent bonds are most polar?

Bonds between two nonmetals that differ in electronegativity (EN) are usually polar. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. Nonmetals with EN differences of 0.5-1.6 form polar covalent bonds. The greater the difference, the more polar. If the EN difference is
