Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Polar molecules interact with other molecules of similar polarity to form solutions. Non-polar molecules do not interact the same way.

Answer:

The scientists predict the polarity of molecules and the distribution of non polar and polar molecules by finding out the net dipole moment of the molecular structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net value of dipole moment is found out with the help of finding the bond angle between the atoms of the given molecule along with the distance between the atoms and the charge on the atoms of the molecule.

This will be applied in the appropriate formula which tells whether the molecule is polar or non polar.
