Formaldehyde is polar due to the asymmetrical distribution of charge caused by the oxygen atom pulling electron density towards itself more than the carbon and hydrogen atoms. This creates a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom and slight positive charges on the carbon and hydrogen atoms, making formaldehyde a polar molecule.
Formaldehyde is a polar molecule, because it has permanent dipoles

Is h2co polar or non-polar covalent?
H2CO (formaldehyde) is a polar covalent molecule. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than carbon and hydrogen, resulting in an uneven distribution of electrons and a net dipole moment in the molecule.
Is charcoal polar or non polar?
non-polar
Is testosterone polar or non polar?
It is non polar.
What does non polar and polar mean?
Polar contains polar. Non-polar contains nothing.
Is ClO4 polar or non- polar?
ClO4 is polar.
Is C3H6Br2 polar or non polar?
Nonpolar
CF4 polar or non polar?
It is non-polar, covalent.
What does non polar mean?
Polar contains polar. Non-polar contains nothing.
Why is KrF2 non-polar?
It is non-polar
Is oil a polar or non-polar?
oil is non polar molecule
Is H2CO polar or non polar?
H2CO (formaldehyde) is a polar molecule because it has a slight imbalance in electron distribution due to the electronegativity difference between the carbon and oxygen atoms. This results in a net dipole moment, making it polar.
Is polar or non polar?
