Polar molecules have a positive end and a negative end. Nonpolar molecules do not.

Polar molecules have partial positive and negative charges associated with individual atoms within the molecule that arise from a difference in the electronegativity of the atoms that comprise the molecule. In water, for example, the oxygen carries a partial negative charge, while the two hydrogen atoms carry a partial positive charge. Also remember that like dissolves like, so most compounds that are not miscible with water are nonpolar.

Polar molecules stay together. They have a positive and a negative side, while non polar molecules don't
Ex. Polar-Water
Ex.Non polar-Oil and water
