Solution

The polarity of bond is explained in below points:

  1. It depends on the difference in the electronegativities.
  2. If the electronegative difference is less than 0.4 then it is known as non-polar bond.
  3. If the electronegative difference is greater than 0.4 then it is known as polar bond.
  4. There are some comparison of polar and non polar molecules given in the below diagram:

Therefore, the above points clearly explains the polarity and non polarity of bonds.
