What is C2h2cl2??? If you mean C2H2Cl2 Note the use of capital letters. Then it is an alkene. It could be 1,1- dichloroethene. Cl2C=CH2 or 1,2- dichloroethene ClHC = CHCl This could then be either cis(Z)/trans(E) isomers.
I have been through many chemistry classes before and have never come across this exact phrase, but I think I may know what you mean. Certain atoms draw electrons more strongly than others, for a wide variety of reasons. Therefore in some molecules, electrons are more likely to be found in one area of the molecule than in another. For example, fluorine attracts electrons very strongly and carbon and hydrogen do not. Therefore in a molecule such as CH3F the electrons would be drawn more closely to the fluorine in the molecule than the carbon. This gives the fluorine end of the molecule a permanent negative charge and the carbon a permanent positive charge (and thusly the polarity is intrinsic to the molecules structure). This is opposed to other molecules in which polarity is transient (inconsistently present) because none of the atoms draw on the electrons more strongly than the other atoms. In a molecule of ethane (C2H6) neither carbon draws electrons more strongly. You can, however, get polarity if by chance more of the electrons travel to one side of the molecule (remember that electrons obey quantum mechanics and can appear anywhere in a given cloud) and create a temporary negative charge. Therefore polarity can be present, but it isn't intrinsic (the polarity had nothing to do with the electronegativities of the atoms). Sorry if I misinterpreted the question.
The polarity of a molecule is quantified by its dipole moment. Calculating the dipole moment of a molecule (except if it is zero or completely non-polar) is not a simple task however, and it is generally determined experimentally.See the Related Questions to the left for how to determine the polarity of a molecule.
Ethylene glycol is more polar than ethanol - a rough measure of polarity is given by the dielectric constant. For example, water is 80, ethylene glycol 37, and ethanol 24.3. Water is the most polar, followed by ethylene glycol and ethanol. Another way to think about it is that ethanol has one alcohol group, and ethylene glycol has two, so it is more polar.
A polar atom has uneven distribution of charges in an atom.
Polarity makes molecules attract one another more strongly; this requires more energy to break them apart.
Polarity between two atoms is caused by a significant difference in electronegativity. This means that one atom can attract the electron in a covalent bond more than the other such that it becomes slighlt neagtive and the other slightly positive.

hexane has dielectric constant (a measure of polarity) 2.02. This value suggests that it is non-polar.
it means that a component can only be installed one way, the wires should not be reversed. Polarized plugs on some appliances have one blade wider than the other so it can be inserted only one way. Some components have one wire longer than the other to indicate polarity. Some are marked with the correct polarity.

Yes, a diode inherently has polarity, as current is only allowed to flow one direction.

which has only one polarity....
One electron.
On an LED, one leg will be shorter than the other. The shorter leg is the negative polarity.
