I have been through many chemistry classes before and have never come across this exact phrase, but I think I may know what you mean.
Certain atoms draw electrons more strongly than others, for a wide variety of reasons. Therefore in some molecules, electrons are more likely to be found in one area of the molecule than in another. For example, fluorine attracts electrons very strongly and carbon and hydrogen do not. Therefore in a molecule such as CH3F the electrons would be drawn more closely to the fluorine in the molecule than the carbon. This gives the fluorine end of the molecule a permanent negative charge and the carbon a permanent positive charge (and thusly the polarity is intrinsic to the molecules structure).
This is opposed to other molecules in which polarity is transient (inconsistently present) because none of the atoms draw on the electrons more strongly than the other atoms. In a molecule of ethane (C2H6) neither carbon draws electrons more strongly. You can, however, get polarity if by chance more of the electrons travel to one side of the molecule (remember that electrons obey quantum mechanics and can appear anywhere in a given cloud) and create a temporary negative charge. Therefore polarity can be present, but it isn't intrinsic (the polarity had nothing to do with the electronegativities of the atoms).
Sorry if I misinterpreted the question.
What else can I help you with?
What are the functions of the polar and nonpolar regions in soap and detergent molecules?
there is no such thing as a non polar end, the whole molecule is either polar or nonpolar. in a polar molecule, the negative end has the purpose of being attracted and combining with the positive end of another polar molecule; if that's what you meant.
What is meant by like in the solubility guideline like dissolves like?
There are basically two types of solvents, polar and non-polar. This refers to the electrical charges in a molecule; polar molecules have positive and negative poles, non-polar molecules don't. The most familiar polar solvent is water, familiar non-polar solvents would be such things as gasoline, cooking oil, etc. So, polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents. A polar substance will not dissolve in a non-polar solvent. Soap is a chemical that has both polar and non-polar elements to its molecular composition, and therefore is able to bridge the gap between polar and non-polar.
Is TeF6 polar or non polar?
No its not polar
What is meant by polarity dependent?
Polarity dependent refers to a characteristic or behavior that is influenced by the polarity of a molecule or a system. For example, the solubility of a substance in a solvent can be polarity dependent, where polar molecules are more soluble in polar solvents and nonpolar molecules are more soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Is C3H6Br2 polar or non polar?
Nonpolar
What is meant by the term non-polar molecule?
polar bears!
How cold can polar bears be in?
hot temperature's like 31 degrees is dangerous for a polar bear.polar bears were meant for cold weather.
At what temperatures is polar fleece meant to be worn in?
Polar fleeces are designed to be worn at temperatures below 55 degree Fahrenheit. If one chooses to wear a Polar fleece above this temperature then sweating may be experienced.
What is meant by non polar compounds?
non polar means there is no polarity.the compound in its bond structure is in balanced condition.eg.carbon dioxide o=c=o,linear structure.so it is balanced
What spices is a polar bear?
I assume you meant species. Ursus maritimus literally meaning 'sea bear'.
What are the functions of the polar and nonpolar regions in soap and detergent molecules?

Is ClF4 plus polar or nonpolar?
ClF4+ is a polar molecule because it has a net dipole moment due to the unequal sharing of electrons between chlorine and fluorine atoms. This unequal sharing causes the molecule to have regions of partial positive and negative charges.
What is the connotative meaning of polar bear?
To me, the Polar bear symbolizes independent resistance to extreme circumstances. 'The Old Man in the White Coat' meant a lot more than that to the First People of our northern climes. The Inuit have immortalized the Polar bear in their legend of the unbroken love between the adopted Polar bear cub, Kunik, and a woman of their tribe.

What does non polar and polar mean?
Polar contains polar. Non-polar contains nothing.
