Polarity refers to the property of having distinct and opposite ends or poles, such as in magnets where there are north and south poles, or in molecules where there may be a positive and negative end. In physics and chemistry, this concept is critical when discussing electric and magnetic fields, chemical bonding, and phenomena like the behavior of water molecules. Polarity determines how molecules interact with each other and their surroundings, influencing properties such as solubility, melting point, and boiling point. For instance, water's polarity allows it to dissolve many substances, earning it the title 'universal solvent'.
