Also known as a dipole, a polar molecule is such a molecule in which its electrical/magnetic potential is not evenly distributed (for example, a molecule of water).

For a better explanation, please consult the Wikipedia.

If electrons are shared equally between atoms that compose a molocule that molocule is said to be polar?

No, if electrons are shared equally between atoms in a molecule, the molecule is said to be nonpolar. A polar molecule occurs when there is an uneven distribution of electrons, leading to regions of partial positive and negative charges.

Is the molecule CH3OCH3 polar or nonpolar?

I would say that it is polar. The shape of the molecule is tetrahedral with the C in the middle and the H and three F single bonded to it. //H FCF //F The electronegativity of H is 2.20 (according to Wikipedia) and the electronegativity of F is 3.98. An electronegativity difference of over 0.5 is considered to be a polar covelent bond. The difference in this molocule is 0.78. (3.98-2.20=0.78)
