The state or quality of lacking polarity; having no poles or polarization, especially in chemistry or physics.
From 'apolar' (lacking polarity) + '-ity' suffix. Combines 'a-' (without) + 'polar' (having poles) + the noun-forming suffix, describing the absence of electrical or magnetic poles.
Molecules with apolarity don't have a positive and negative end, which is why nonpolar oils don't mix with polar water—it's a fundamental property that shapes chemistry!
