Some differences between polar and non-polar molecules are mentioned here.
polar molecules:
- Polar molecules are symmetrical.
- Polar molecules have electric dust.
- In polar molecules, one end of the molecule is positive, while a negative charge exists at the other end.
- H bonds are produced.
- There is at least one polar covalent in the polar bonds to all polar molecules.
- The polar bond has charge separation.
- It has a dipole moment.
- It has a high surface tension, melting point and boiling point.
- It interacts with other polar molecules.
- Examples of polar molecules are water, ammonia and ethanol.
Non-polar molecules:
- Nonpolar molecules are symmetrical.
- The non-polar molecule is devoid of electrical dust.
- There is no profusion of charges at opposite ends of nonpolar molecules.
- Van der Waal interactions between non-polar bonds.
- There is no nonpolar covalent in all nonpolar molecules.
- There is no charge separation in nonpolar molecules.
- It has no dipole moment.
- It has low surface tension, melting point and boiling point.
- It does not interact with other non-polar molecules.
- Examples of nonpolar molecules are petroleum, benzene, methane.
