Chemical polarity is a feature of [[Chemistry|chemical bond]]s, where two different [[atom]]s in the same [[molecule]] have different electronegativity. As a result, the electrons in the bond are not shared equally by the two atoms. This causes an asymmetrical (polar) electric field. Molecular covalent bonds can be described as polar or nonpolar. Entire molecules can also be described as polar.
