The Polarity of Objects

Polarity in objects refers to the distribution of electrical charge within or on the surface of an object. When an object has regions with slight positive or negative charges, it is considered polar. This is similar to a magnet with a north and south pole, but in molecules or materials, it involves uneven charge distribution. Polarity affects how objects interact; polar objects tend to attract or mix with other polar objects (like water), whereas non-polar objects do not. Understanding polarity explains behaviors like dissolving, bonding, and reactions in chemistry and materials science.
