Molecular Polarity
When there are no polar bonds in a molecule, there is no permanent charge difference between one part of the molecule and another, and the molecule is nonpolar
A molecule can possess polar bonds and still be nonpolar. If the polar bonds are evenly (or symmetrically) distributed, the bond dipoles cancel and do not create a molecular dipole.the three bonds in a molecule of BF3 are significantly polar, but they are symmetrically arranged around the central boron atom. No side of the molecule has more negative or positive charge than another side, and so the molecule is nonpolar
The molecular geometry of CCl4 is tetrahedral. Even though the C-Cl bonds are polar, their symmetrical arrangement makes the molecule nonpolar
and what i am saying is according to Lewis structure
