A polar molecule has an uneven distribution of electrical charges, resulting in a dipole moment where one end is partially positive and the other is partially negative. This polarity arises from differences in electronegativity between atoms, leading to polar covalent bonds. In contrast, a nonpolar molecule has an even distribution of charge, often due to symmetrical arrangements of atoms or identical atoms bonded together, resulting in no significant charge separation. As a result, polar molecules tend to interact with other polar substances, while nonpolar molecules are more compatible with nonpolar substances.

What is different between polar and non-polar molecules?

A polar molecule is one that has a negatively charged end and a positively charged end, which form poles. A non-polar molecule doesn't.


Is the covalent bond formed between chlorine and bromine polar or non polar?

Polar- chlorine and bromine have different electronegativities.


Do polar substances dissolve in non-polar liquids?

No, polar substances do not dissolve well in non-polar liquids because they have different intermolecular forces. Polar substances are attracted to other polar substances due to their opposite charges, while non-polar substances are attracted to each other due to London dispersion forces.
