Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar? the electron pair is shared almost equally in all the bonds. the intermolecular attractions are strong. all the bonds are single covalent bonds. van der waals forces overcome polarity?

The molecules of hydrocarbons are non-polar because t he electron pair is shared almost equally in all the bonds.

Hydrocarbon molecules are composed of a carbon with hydrogen. When it comes to electronegativity, not one of these elements form polarity. When you have a huge difference in electronegativity, O-H, then polarity is created. Both elements are too close in their electronegativity, thus, share electrons equally.
