If the atoms have a certain electronegativity, then the molecule is polar.
Explanation:
The atoms that are present in a molecule must have an electronegativity difference of between 0.3 to 1.5. This results in a molecule that is polar covalent.
An example of this is the molecule hydrogen fluoride, or
This phenomenon also takes place in ammonia,
