Explanation Polarity arises from the uneven partial charge distribution between various atoms in a compound. If a molecule is symmetric around the central atom, the dipole moments of the bond will cancel out and the molecule will thus be a non-polar compound. When the molecule is not symmetric the dipole moments of the bond don't cancel out and the molecule has a net dipole moment and the molecule is therefore polar...
