Answer: non polar molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

An electronegative atom is the one which attracts the shared pair of electron towards itself.

A polar covalent molecule is defined as the molecule which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. Example:
HCl

Non-polar covalent molecule is defined as the molecule which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms. It is also defined as the bond which is formed due to the equal sharing of electrons between the atoms. Example:
H_2

Hence, the correct answer is non polar covalent molecule.

Polar on the other hand is a term that describe a molecule with an asymmetrical distribution of charges. such a molecule has a negative pole and a positive pole.
