Here's the reason for that.
Explanation:
I think, in certain cases all the polar covalent bonds of a certain molecule arrange themselves in such a geometry, that each of the polarities of the bonds cancel each other and the entire molecule thus becomes non-polar, since the net resultant moment of the entire molecule becomes zero.
For example, in carbon tetrachloride, the four polar
