Butane is a nonpolar molecule because it has a symmetrical shape with equal electron distribution, so there is no separation of charge. Acetic acid and methanol both have polar functional groups (carboxyl and hydroxyl, respectively) that lead to the molecules having dipole moments. Ethylamine and cyclohexanone have polar bonds and non-symmetrical shapes, making them also polar.
