WHAT DOES NONPOLAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chemical polarity

In chemistry, polarity refers to a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole or multipole moment. Polar molecules interact through dipole–dipole intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonds. Molecular polarity is dependent on the difference in electronegativity between atoms in a compound and the asymmetry of the compound's structure. Polarity underlies a number of physical properties including surface tension, solubility, and melting- and boiling-points.

Definition of nonpolar in the English dictionary

The definition of nonpolar in the dictionary is not polar, not having a permanent dipole moment.
