what does it mean when a molecule is classified as polar

Expert Solution

The geometry of atoms in polar molecules is such that one end of the molecule has a positive electrical charge and the other side has a negative charge.

Molecular polarity is dependent on the difference in electronegativity between atoms in a compound and the asymmetry of the compound's structure.
