What does “Molecular polarity” actually mean in Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure, and why does it matter for JEE?
a molecule is polar only if bond dipoles don't cancel, which depends on both electronegativity and shape.
In simple words: a molecule is polar only if bond dipoles don't cancel, which depends on both electronegativity and shape. Getting Molecular polarity clear matters because JEE questions on Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Molecular polarity
Common mistake
calling any molecule with polar bonds a polar molecule.
Memory tip
symmetry can cancel dipoles — shape matters as much as bonds.
