The definition of Polarity is
-The uneven distribution of charges across a molecule
-.so examples of polarity would be
*water molecule with 2 positive hydrogen atoms and 1 negative oxygen atom
*left hand and a right hand
*east and west
-.it's basically anything that is opposites

Can you use the word polarity in a sentence?
the polarity of the battery is reversed
What is the geomagnetic reversal time scale?
The geomagnetic reversal time scale has patterns of polarity. It is the pattern of alternating and reserved polarity in rocks.
What is an example of reverse polarity?
Reverse polarity means connecting a power source, or polarised componenet, with the positive and negative poles the wrong way round. If the positive and negative supply is connected the wrong way round in electronic devices, it usually causes damage, because semiconductors are sensitive to polarity. Sometimes protection is provided, so that reverse polarity stops the device from working without causing damage. Connecting a diode (or rectifier) in reverse, will block the flow of current, without causing damage and is useful in protecting circuits from reverse polarity. In some consumer electronics (especially CB Radios) the power input has a recitifier across the 12v supply. If it is wired correctly, the rectifier is in reverse polarity, does not conduct and allows the radio to work. If you reverse the polarity of the power supply, the rectifier is now in full conduction, across the supply, causing a dead short. This shunts any power away from the radio and blows the fuse in the line, thus protecting it.
Why do you think about the polarity of the different ingredients in your salad dressing in order for it to turn out well?
It is not necessary that all salad ingredients must be soluble or miscible; so eat salads without the care of polarity.
What is polarity test and continuity test?
a test to be conduct for find the phase...
The unequal sharing of electrons in a molecule of water is an example of?
polarity
Example of polarity?
Snacking on hobos is a very good example of polarity. Another example of polarity is bathing in warm coleslaw. Booty chicken is not reliable and that's not polarity so don't write that on a chemistry paper, please.
What is the difference between individual bond polarity and molecular polarity?
bond polarity is the polarity particular bond within a molecule, while molecular polarity is the polarity of the whole molecule. take for example water (H20): you could find the bond polarity of each H-0 bond (polar covalent), or the polarity of the whole molecule together (polar, because the electronegativity of oxygen is higher than the hydrogen atoms)
What are two examples of polarity?
-- negative polarity -- positive polarity
How does a drawing of polarity water and the bond polarities make a major contribution to the overall molecular polarity look?
The polarity is a vector quantity. The resultant of the polarity of bonds determines the polarity of the molecule. In CO2 there is polarity between the two C-O but the polarity is equal and opposite in direction so CO2 doesn't have polarity. If the polarity of bonds is not cancelled then the polarity remains in the molecule.
Is unequal sharing of electrons acidic basic or polarity?
Polarity
What is the concept of polarity due to?
Differences of polarity between different compounds (molecules) have two causes: - differences of asymmetry between these molecules - differences between the electronegativity of the atoms contained in the molecule
What problems are there with reverse polarity?
Reversing polarity ,changes the rotation of the device you are changing polarity on.
Does space have polarity?
No. Electromagnetic fields have polarity.
Can you reverse the polarity of AC and DC?
We have the capacity to reverse the polarity of a DC voltage, at least as regards what we apply it to. When we consider a DC motor, like, say, the ones in the little "robot wars" we see on TV, the motors can be run in reverse by reversing the polarity of the applied DC voltage. We normally consider AC as already reversing its polarity. It is, after all, AC, which is alternating current. The current alternates because the voltage alternates. We'll avoid any further discussion of the polarity of AC voltages here and leave it at that.AnswerThe problem, here, is that 'polarity' has several different meanings.Polarity, in the sense of 'electric charge' cannot really be applied to a voltage (potential difference) although it can be to a potential (although the polarity is relative; it depends on the point of reference).Polarity, in the sense of 'direction', can be applied to a voltage. For example, is the voltage acting clockwise or counter clockwise around a circuit?Polarity, in the sense of 'connection', can be applied to a voltage. For example, it's important that the line conductor is connected to the centre terminal of an Edison lamp holder or to one or other of the slots in a receptacle (power socket).
Why the resistor does not have polarity?
they do not have any electrical property that is polarity sensitive
