'''Grammatical polarity''' is the distinction of affirmative and negative, which indicates the [[truth]] or falsehood of a statement respectively.  In [[English]], grammatical polarity is generally indicated by the [[presence]] or absence of the modifier ''not'', which negates the statement. Many other [[language]]s contain similar modifiers: Italian and Interlingua have ''non'', Spanish has ''no'', French has ''ne ... pas'', German has ''nicht'', and Swedish has ''inte''.

'''Polarity''' is a description of an attribute, typically a binary attribute (one with two values), or a [[vector]] (a direction).  For example:

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.
