A nonpolar molecule is entirely symmetric. For a molecule to be nonpolar, it must have at least a linear, trigonal planar, or a tetrahedra shape. However, that's not totally enough. For the molecule to be completely symmetric, aside from having a symmetric shape, all of the atoms that are connected to the central atom must be alike. Therefore, symmetry has two components, they are the geometric arrangement of the outer atoms and whether or not they are all the same.

Fundamentally, non-uniform or it is the uniform, distribution of electrons that ascertains if a molecule is polar or nonpolar, but this distribution is established by the dispersal and distinctiveness of the atoms in a molecule.
