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.
