electronegativity
What's the cut off point between polar and nonpolar in terms of electronegativity?

Re: electronegativity
Polar bonds mean that there is electronegativity difference, and nonpolar bonds don't have an electronegativity difference, like N2. Hope this helps!

Re: electronegativity
There isn't a cut off in polar and non-polar molecules as a polar molecule. But, for covalent bonds the difference in electronegativity is less than 1.5 and for ionic bonds the difference in electronegative is greater than 2.

Re: electronegativity
You can consider that bond is polar if there are a difference in electronegativity. If the electronegativity is different, it means that there are difference in how much the nucleus will pull the shared electron towards it.
Re: electronegativity
Nonpolar bonds don't have different electronegativities, whereas polar bonds do. For example, H20.
