Tellurium dioxide (TeO2) is considered polar due to its molecular structure. It has a bent geometry, which creates a dipole moment because of the difference in electronegativity between tellurium and oxygen. This asymmetrical arrangement leads to an uneven distribution of charge, making TeO2 polar overall.
