A non-polar molecule is one that has symmetrical distributions of electrons, therefore not having a dipole. This is due to the electronegativities of bonded atoms/functional groups being similar to each other.
Non-polar substances are generally Hydrophobic and form Van Der Waals forces with neighbouring molecules.
