Question
what is the difference between a polar and nonpolar molecule? explain your answer in 2 - 4 sentences.
A polar molecule has an uneven distribution of electron density, creating partial charges. A nonpolar molecule has an even distribution, with no significant partial charges. This difference affects properties like solubility and intermolecular forces.
