The dipole moment of a molecule can be predicted by looking at the molecule's structure and the location of the dipoles within the molecule. When a molecule has no dipole moment, it will be nonpolar. A molecule with a dipole moment will be polar.
A non-polar compound occurs when there is an equal sharing of electrons between two different atoms. Examples of household non-polar compounds include fats, oil and petrol/gasoline. Therefore (per the oil and water rule of thumb), most non-polar molecules are water insoluble (hydrophobic) at room temperature.However many non-polar organic solvents, such as turpentine, are able to dissolve polar substances.When comparing a polar and non-polar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule generally has a higher boiling point, because of the dipole-dipole interaction between their molecules.The most common form of such an interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also known as the H-bond.herefore (per the oil and water rule of thumb), most non-polar molecules are water insoluble (hydrophobic) at room temperature.
