Question

What is `"polarity"`?

Answer 1

Polarity is charge separation.......

Explanation:

And polarity is a molecular phenomenon, neither an atomic nor an elemental property. Molecular polarity can be assessed from the vector sum of the individual bond dipoles within the molecule. For example, water, `OH_2`, is a molecular dipole, i.e. `stackrel(delta+)H-stackrel(delta-)O-stackrel(delta+)H`, because the vector sum of the dipole is NON-ZERO; so is `CHCl_3`. But `"CCl"_4` is NON-POLAR because the bond-dipoles sum to ZERO.
