In this Short, The Amoeba Sisters take a look at what "polar" and "nonpolar" means in biology when talking about bonds [specifically covalent bonds but this Short does not go into covalent vs ionic bonds]. This Short also mentions that whether a molecule is polar or not is more than just the bonds it has - but also its structure and geometry.
