Which feature do polar compounds have that nonpolar compounds lack?

Question

A. ions
B. ends that have the same charge
C. electrons
D. oppositely charged ends

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. oppositely charged ends.

Polar compounds have a distribution of electrical charge that leads to one end being partially positive and the other end being partially negative, creating dipoles. Nonpolar compounds do not have this separation of charge, so they lack oppositely charged ends.
