.

• A non- polar molecule always has even distribution of electrical charges.

• Hence, ethylene is a non-polar molecule.

• A polar molecule does not have equal charges in the molecule.

• A polar molecule will form ionic or covalent bonds. Hence, option A, B and C cannot be considered to be true.
