What are polar and non-polar molecules?
(N/A) $1$. Polar Molecules: $A$ molecule is said to be polar if the center of positive charge and the center of negative charge do not coincide. These molecules possess a permanent electric dipole moment. Examples include $H_2O$,$HCl$,and $NH_3$.
$2$. Non-polar Molecules: $A$ molecule is said to be non-polar if the center of positive charge and the center of negative charge coincide. These molecules do not possess a permanent electric dipole moment. Examples include $O_2$,$H_2$,and $CO_2$.
$2$. Non-polar Molecules: $A$ molecule is said to be non-polar if the center of positive charge and the center of negative charge coincide. These molecules do not possess a permanent electric dipole moment. Examples include $O_2$,$H_2$,and $CO_2$.
